Pizza Bites

I can't believe school is starting here this week.  Summer is flying by and football is about to go from pre-season to a countdown to the super bowl.  These pizza bites are an easy to make treat that won't keep you from the game for long.

Pizza Bites

1 box of Mini Fillo Shells
Pizza sauce ~ recipe below
Mini pepperoni
Mozzarella cheese
Oregano

Place cups in a baking dish (a pie pan works great).  Ladle in approximately 1/2 tsp of pizza sauce in each shell.  Top with 3 mini pepperoni.  Top with shredded mozzarella.  Sprinkle oregano on top.  Bake for 10 minutes at 350°.






Pizza Sauce ~ enough for 2 pizzas and freezable

1 - 6 oz tomato paste
6 oz water
3 tbsp Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp Italian Seasonings
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Mix together tomato paste and water in a medium sized pan.  Add in honey, garlic and spices and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
