Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. very lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 1 (8-10 count) tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
• Generous pinch crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 8 to 10 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat 8 to 10 muffin cups with nonstick spray.
2. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic, breaking the beef into crumbles, until beef is no longer pink. Stir in the pizza sauce; set aside.
3. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a 4 to 6-inch circle. Line the bottom and sides of the muffin cups with the biscuits.
4. Season the ricotta with crushed red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.
5. Divide the meat mixture among the biscuit cups. Top the meat with a spoonful of ricotta. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake 18 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through and golden.
