Danny N makes a family secret recipe with meatballs and pizza dough.

People are so hateful with some of their comments. I think it is a quick and awesome way to do a homemade pizza. It's gonna have calories folks, so if you don't like it, just move on! No need to dog him out. Or is this just Part of the hatefulness in the World these days?

Saint Patrick's Day is coming. There will be left over corned beef. I see corned beef and saurkraut with dubliner cheese. For all the purist out there, I will use the store made pizza dough. These old arthritic hands just cant do some things anymore. You pick your battles. Cheers

This is a good comment.❤ The ingredient substitution sounds great, and I love the "pick your battles" attitude.❤ Makes life easier

A lower carb option is just to take the first layer of dough and flip it over the cups and then you should have enough to cover all the openings.😋

[@nicolew1808]

I thought he was going to do that before he pulled out the can. Think I’ll try it with crescent roll dough.

[@sandralewis5486]

Well you could always take the idea and do it from scratch. Great idea for a don’t want to cook day!

Maybe he's just showing us a quick way compared to how it's traditionally prepared. Looks Yummy

[@kimberlylakendra1257]

I agree

[@Painter931]

I'm Italian I like it. Great idea. I made them like a hand pie. I used the biscuit dough. I just rolled out a round biscuit and filled it. It was delicious. Big Italian dinners were usually served only on holidays. This is a quick way to do a pizza snack.

My Italian grandmother & family, made everything homemade. Too MUCH dough, to begin with. The dough should have been at least rolled/thinned out. Frozen meatballs, no. Once again, homemade. As far as the time to make homemade meatballs, combining all ingredients & preparation doesn't really take much time. Place in a crockpot to cook & keep it movin' lol All in all, an easy way, a quick meal. Personally, I would rather all homemade. Why? Because, you know its made with time, effort & the most important ingredient: LOVE🩷!

I was thinking the same thing about the dough. .Roll it out and use less. This is great for a a party or quick snack for kids. And yes people work and are busy. But you can make your own meatballs ahead and freeze them. Same with the scauce. Make ahead and can or freeze. 😊
