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”.

  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.

  • Use a second mug per person and make a salad too. Paired together my kids think it is the best meal ever!!

I love this ideas for mug meals and deserts. Especially for traveling in our fifthwheel. I have Tupperware soup mugs I think would work great for these meals. Will try them out!

I just found this site! I am cooking for 1. My pizza change is for real Italian sausage! Grew up in Chicago area before pepperoni became a thing! It would be worth the taste to have precooked sausage in my freezer! Would have loved the ‘Mug’ recipes in my farming, working, and wife, mom years!
