The Battle of the Pizza Cups

ATTENTION LADIES AND GENTLEMAN:

We have a challange on our hands! Callie Baker has come up with the wild idea that she can make pizza cups better than me. So, in preperation for the challange, we went to our seperate corners  houses, made our own recipes, took pictures, and have put it up here for YOU to decide. Now, we know that you can't actually TASTE these cups, however, feel free to salivate over the recipes through your imaginations and eat them vicariously through us (and Sam).  Please vote for your favorite recipe and in our next post, we will reveal the winner and who's recipe is who's:

A (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 Tbsp. instant minced onion
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 (10 oz.) can refrigerated biscuits

Brown and drain beef. Stir in tomato paste, onion and seasonings (mixture will be thick).  Cook over low hear for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
