Garlic Knot Pizza

Pizza or Garlic Knots? With this recipe, you'll never have to decide between the two again. It's a quick but delicious choice for Today's Crock Pot Thursday!

INGREDIENTS

GARLIC-KNOT CRUST

• 2 tubes pre-made biscuit dough
• 3 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1½ tsp. garlic powder, divided
• 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

PIZZA FILLING

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 jar marinara sauce
• 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 slices pepperoni

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. For the garlic-knot crust: Cut each biscuit round in half (or quarter it, if the package makes extra-large biscuits), so they're about the size of a half-dollar. Dip the biscuit pieces in melted butter, then place them in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and top with 1 tsp. garlic powder and parmesan cheese. Shake to coat.
3. Pour coated dough balls into a large casserole dish, spreading them out in an even layer. Set aside.
4. For the rest of the pizza: Place ground beef and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder in a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook beef, breaking it up into crumbles with the back of a spatula, until it's fully browned. Drain and mix with marinara sauce.
5. Pour meat sauce onto pizza, covering the knots. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices. Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and garlic knots are puffed up and lightly golden (if you can see them).
