Pepperoni Pizza Muffins

The Original Recipe:
I didn't have yeast to make pizza for Friday night, but I wanted pizza! I found this great alternative. Pizza muffins! My teenager and his girlfriend (*gasp! I am old enough to have a teenager--with a girlfriend!) said they tasted like the chedder biscuits from Red Lobster, but with pepperoni. I personally didn't think so, but that is a good comparison. I added a ton of pepperoni and 2 types of cheeses. It was stringy when I pulled it apart to eat it. YUM!
