If you’re looking for a “cool” after school snack, quick lunch, or fun activity to do when you have a few kids come over you should try this easy pizza in a mug recipe here.

• I know….good right??!! It’s filled with the ooey gooey cheese and toppings you love and it only takes about 2 minutes to make each one!

You can easily load it up with whatever you like as far as toppings go.

Add diced mushrooms, olives, or even substitute Canadian bacon for the pepperoni.

Make a pizza bar of sorts if there are several people and everyone can really make their own because they’re just so easy to do.

Here’s what you need and how you make pizza in a mug

1. Refrigerated biscuits
2. Spaghetti sauce – we like this one 
3. Pepperoni
4. Mozzarella
5. Pizza toppings – diced pepperoni and olives are perfect for this
6. Mug

Here’s my youngest helping me. I showed all of them how I created a few and then sent them off on their own so they could “do it myself”.

Here’s a quick video rundown of how you make our pizza in a mug

1. First you’ll need a microwave mug which is on the larger size of things.
2. Spray the inside with non stick spray if you have it.
3. Lay 1 refrigerated biscuit in the bottom.
4. In a 1200w microwave microwave for 30 seconds.
5. Add a spoonful of marinara sauce on top with some cheese, pepperoni and any dried herbs you want.
6. Microwave for 1 minute so it rises up and the toppings are bubbling and melted together.
7. Enjoy immediately!

Yes you could make the dough homemade with milk and oil etc. but we are going with fast and easy here. 😉

Seriously that is how easy this single serving pizza is to make. It’s absolutely perfect when the kids need a quick meal.

There are 5 of us and when it is a “make your own dinner” kinda’ night this is perfect. 8 biscuits come in a package so there’s just enough for a light lunch or dinner for us.
