Bite-sized appetizers make the perfect party food, and these mini Hawaiian-style pizza bites are both kid and adult pleasing. I started with a Hormel recipe and tweaked it just a bit to my liking.
Hawaiian-Style Pizza Bites
Ingredients
3 oz Hormel Canadian Style Bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 tsp dried basil leaves
2 (10-ounce) cans refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (I used one can of Grands.)Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease mini muffin cups.2. To make filling, in bowl, combine Canadian bacon, cheese, bell pepper, pineapple, onion, pizza sauce and basil; mix well.
3. Cut each biscuit in half. (I used Grands which are larger so I cut them into fourths.) Place biscuit pieces in muffin cups, pressing gently to fit. Spoon heaping teaspoon of filling into each cup.
4. Bake pizza bites 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
Party Tips:
Cut down on leftovers! Have a bunch of take-out containers ready, so you can send guests home with the extra treats!
Not enough space for guests? Have an open house so guests can stop in anytime during party hours.
When someone offers to bring something, say yes! You can never have too many appetizers or side dishes.
What’s your favorite appetizer that you’ve created or that you’ve been served at a party?

Happy New Year!! 😀
Sprinkle says
This is awesome dish and i would love to make it some day 🙂
Christine W says
These sound like they would taste great. It is one of those dishes where you would have to make a trip to the grocery store as I would usually not have all of these ingredients on hand. They sound like they would be worth the trip. I think that it is a great idea to have some plastic storage bags on hand for people to take home with them and save on the leftovers. Plus, people remember when you do nice things like this and start carrying on the tradition.
Alissa Apel says
I would love these. I’m not sure about the other crazy peps in my house. They are good eaters, but Isaak’s odd and only will eat cheese pizza. He does like healthy foods: Salmon, chicken, steak, just about ANY veggie and any fruit. It’s when things are mixed up that he has a problem with it. The others might go for it. It sounds wonderful to me!
Meghan @ Crazy Casa K says
Now I know what I’m making for dinner 🙂
Michelle dement says
These look very yummy! Thanks for sharing can’t wait to try
Naomi says
adorable! I bet a little jalapeno would be good, too. One of the local pizza places here puts dried dates and coconut flakes on their Hawaiian pies. Sounds sketchy but I like it!
Dina@4LettreWords says
Wow, Lady…those sound (and look) amazing! Might have to whip some up this week while the kids are out of school.
