My parents came to Kentucky for a visit last month. They were both here for a few days, and then my dad left and my mom stayed for another week! She and I ran a lot of little errands. One day while perusing through the little dollar section at Target, we saw a little "Halloween Fun" cookbook put out by Pillsbury. It's just a little booklet full of little Halloween treats. In it was this simple recipe for "sloppy joe pizzas". I won't go into the cute way that you do up this thing to decorate it like a jack-o-lantern. Suffice it to say, the kids loved my post-Halloween sans-cutesy version of these little pizzas. (Great easy dinner when hubby is working late.)
Ingredients:
1 can large refrigerated buttermilk homestyle biscuits (8 count)
1 lb ground beef
1 can sloppy joe sauce (15.5 oz)
1 can whole kernel sweet corn, drained (11 oz)
(garnish: American cheese, pieces of green peppers)
Directions:
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and press each biscuit to form a little pizza round (about 4 inches). Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes (or according to pkg directions).
In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until thoroughly cooked; drain.
Stir in sloppy joe sauce and corn. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook about 5 minutes until heated through.
Spoon beef mixture evenly on to biscuit rounds. If desired, place cheese on top and put back in oven for a couple of minutes.

This is seriously nothing fancy... it just fills the tummies when mom's energy-level is low.
