Ok, so today is game day for the NY Giants vs. Falcons and my husband is a HUGE Giants fan. That being said you can imagine what will take place in my house today. You got it! Yelling, cheering, maybe a few bad words along with me yelling
watch your mouth!
Game day usually brings on a hunger of weird sorts for this house. Pizza, buffalo wings with hot sauce, and maybe some beer? I love finding new ways to make some great food that mostly everyone will enjoy and is pretty easy to make. I have been following a few blogs for a while now and I love almost everything they have posted. So here is one I have already tried a few times and REALLY like this one!

This is called Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread. Enough said.
This little snack really hits the spot. I know my family loves anything that is pizza related so I knew once I saw this it would be a big hit. Being I am short on time today I am not making homemade pizza dough or using store bought. Instead I will be using biscuits to make these today.


Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tsp. Parsley flakes
- Tsp. garlic ( or more if you love a little garlic with your food )
- 2 Lbs. pizza dough ( I used biscuits this time, 4pk )
- 6 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into small chunks (I used shredded or you can use mozzarella sticks to make it a bit easier )
- 48 slices of pepperoni ( 1 bag )
- 2-3 C. marinara sauce ( warm ) for dipping


Instructions

* Melt butter and mix garlic and parsley into a small bowl.

* Lightly brush the inside of a bundt pan ( or any oven safe pan ) with butter mixture ( you will have some left over.)

* Pull off a small chunk of pizza dough ( about the size of a marble ) or one slice of biscuit and flatten. Top with a slice of pepperoni and a cube ( or a small amount of shredded ) cheese.

* Fold the dough over the cheese and pepperoni and pinch closed.

* Place into the bundt pan and repeat until all the dough is gone. ( using the biscuits I made about three rows around the pan. )

* There should still be plenty of the butter mixture left so again brush the rolls with some more.

* Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

* Bake for about 35-40 minutes ( or until the top is very brown.

* Remove from oven and let sit for about 10-15 minutes.

* Turn out onto a platter and serve with marinara sauce.

~Makes about 48~
