My kids love pepperoni, in fact, they practically worship it. Straight from the pouch, peeling it from their pizza, inside a pasta salad, wherever they can get to it, it’s a Sosa house favorite. That’s why when brainstorming a new family recipe featuring the zesty snack, I couldn’t whip one up fast enough. Knowing my kids love of pepperoni and carbs (rolls, breads) I dreamt up a savory Hormel Pepperoni Cornbread.

Few things go better with pepperoni than cheddar cheese, so I knew I wanted to include it in my recipe. Opening my pantry for inspiration, I found a box of cornbread mix. And then, just like that, this cornbread pizza muffin recipe was born. What a glorious day it was, if I do say so myself!

You probably already have everything you need for this right in your kitchen. Grab some eggs, milk, cornbread mix, cheese, and pepperoni.

Try not to fall over yourself with excitement when you pull these babies out of the oven, because, man alive, do they smell delicious! My kiddos devoured these simple to make muffins and I’m positive the leftovers I send to my husband’s work will be thoroughly enjoyed. I was impressed with these muffins so much, that I may recreate them for Aiden’s ninja turtle party this May. How perfect are these mini pizza muffins for that?
