Pizza Buns (a kid friendly freezer meal)
Cheesy pizza buns are about as kid-friendly a freezer meal as you can get. You’ll be surprised how easy they are to make at home. These can be made as a freezer meal, creating an easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love.
My kids love pizza in pretty much any form. In an attempt to keep them fed but not have the same thing every day, I’ve come up with a lot of variations over the years such as our Crock Pot Pizza Casserole, Tater Tot Pizza Casserole, and Pizza Stuffed Chicken.
This recipe can be adapted to include your favorite pizza toppings such as:
- pineapple
- cooked bacon
- cooked chicken
- spinach
- banana peppers
- or whatever you like best.
