Place several small pieces of cooked sausage on top of the sauce, then place about 5-6 mini pepperonis on top of sausage.
Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese over top of each muffin tin.

Notes
NOTE: I found it easier to roll the biscuits out slightly on the back of a plate. (Rolling out on a wood cutting board caused the biscuits to stick, but on the back of a Corelle plate worked great).NOTE: Do your best to keep the cheese inside the muffin tin and not around the edges. Otherwise, it makes it more difficult to remove the pizzas from the tins.NOTE: I used a regular table knife to gently ease around the outside edges of each miniature pizza to remove them from the pan.
