Calories: 316kcal
- 13 ounce roll of refrigerated classic pizza crust
- 1 ½ cups Shredded mozzarella cheese (See Tip 1)
- ½ cup Pizza sauce (See Tip 2)
- 24 pieces Sliced pepperoni (See Tip 3)
- ½ cup Italian sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled
- Vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray for coating the skull cups
Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush the skull cups with vegetable oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Unroll the pizza crust onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Roll to approximately 15 inches by 12 inches. Cut in half lengthwise; cut each strip into 3 pieces. (See Tip 4)
Place a piece of pizza crust on top of a skull cup and press lightly to form a bowl. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of mozzarella cheese, followed by a tablespoon of pizza sauce, four slices of pepperoni, and 1 tablespoon of Italian sausage. Top with 1 ½ tablespoons of mozzarella cheese. Pinch together the sides of the pizza crust and the ends, making sure that the filling is completely enclosed. Repeat with remaining ingredients and skull cups.
Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove pizza skulls from the skull pan and place them on a wire rack to continue cooling. Serve warm.
