Pizza in a Bowl

Serves 6

• 1/2 of a 3.5oz pkg thinly sliced pepperoni
• 2c dried rotini (6oz)
• 1/2c finely chopped onion
• 8oz shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1lb. lean ground beef
• 1 26-oz jar pizza/pasta sauce
• 1 13.8oz can refrigerated pizza crust
  
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.. Coat six 10-12oz ramekins with cooking spray. Cook pasta; drain; set aside. Cut pepperoni slices into quarters. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and onion. Drain off fat. Stir in sauce, shredded cheese, cooked pasta and pepperoni.  Mix until well combined.  Divide meat mixture evenly between prepared casseroles. Unroll pizza crust and cut into six equal-sized pieces. Place one piece over the top of each casserole. Tuck corners of dough inside the edge of the dishes to make rounded tops. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pizza dough is golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Carefully invert each ramekin to serve. It desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  
  You can change this up to your liking, using your favorite pizza toppings. For our daughters, I had to take out the pepperoni. For my husband, I added ground sausage, green peppers and mushrooms. This dish is truly limitless!!!
