Are you ready for some football? We’re fully in the midst of football season and for those of you that don’t already know, we are big college football fans and HUGE Nebraska Cornhusker fans! So, football Saturdays are a fun part of our fall and I love making some fun recipes when possible for our football game-watching! These team spirit mini pizzas were SO easy to make…and turned out pretty cute too! 
Obviously, we made our pizzas Huskers-style, but there really are A LOT of difference options for team pizzas, depending on your school’s colors. Get creative with different toppings! The basic “recipe” is just good ol’ english muffin pizzas. You need english muffins, pizza sauce (or even just your favorite pasta sauce), mozzarella cheese, and your team-color toppings. Or, you can just go with footballs by cutting salami or pepperoni, then adding strips of string cheese for the football laces. Toast the muffins just slightly first. Then, remove from heat (oven, grill, etc) and add a thin layer of sauce. Cover with cheese & toppings. Then, bake/grill until cheese is melted.
For Nebraska, the colors were easy with our favorite toppings! We did some with just black & red (black olives & pepperoni). But, the real fun came by spelling out Huskers and putting the “N” on the pizzas. All that’s involved to do that is cutting strips from the pepperonis and using them to spell everything out! Easy and makes such a fun impact! You can serve them up with some delicious slow cooker wings for that perfect tailgate menu! 
Fun, right?! They were a big hit! But the fun doesn’t end there!
