not really what i expected but they were very good as a snack for the week. I had trouble cutting the dough into correct sizes so just rolled it in a ball and pressed the chz and pepperoni in the dough. worked for me. -
These are really good! I'm going to be honest here and say that I JUST used the pizza dough, and then I sandwiched the cheese between 2 turkey pepperonis. I was making this with my home preschool and they're a tad picky (haha) so I didn't add in anything else.....although I sure will next time! I lined my pan with the non-stick type of foil and the oozing cheese was not a problem! :) Thanks for the awesome recipe!!! I saved the rest for a quick microwave snack/meal! Love it! -
These were good, but I had a difficult time keeping the cheese from leaking out. Next time I'll have to be sure to seal better. -
These are soo good! I have made these several times already, and have plenty stocked in my freezer! The only changes I made were to add additional pepperoni to each one and added some crumbled bacon to a few of them for my hubby! So good, highly recommend! -
How can this not be great? Tastes super and yet fun for my DS's. I made this in part of OAMC, so am very pleased to have 2 meals in my freezer. Thank You!

yummy! I made these for my daycaree kids for lunch (we made just plain cheese ones) and they were a big hit. As well as the leftovers being gobbled up by my husband and daughter after work/school. The only thing I'd change next time waould be lining my baking pans/sheets (I used 1 big and 1 small baking sheet instead of the pie pans) with aluminum foil...the cheese tends to ooze out while baking.
