Looking for something cheesy to munch on? How about these Pepperoni Pizza Bombs?

These Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are the real deal made with real homemade pizza dough and filled with cheese and pepperoni.

Sunday's in this house means two things, sports on the television and awesome food.

With a house full of guests, the last thing I want to do is serve something boring and expected.

That’s why I turn to my favorite game day appetizer recipes that are more exciting and delicious.

Here’s my Pepperoni Pizza Bombs recipe for a full day of football and pizza goodness.

Some Pizza Bomb recipes are made using canned biscuits.

While they taste pretty good and are okay when in a pinch I'm here to show you how easy it can be to make them with a homemade pizza dough.

Pepperoni Pizza Bombs made with real pizza dough on a plate.

All you need is a couple of envelopes of pizza dough mix or my favorite and amazing personal pan pizza dough recipe.

Making Pizza Bombs with real pizza dough tastes so much better.

And these Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are going to be the hit of your family. They're going to be begging for more!

You can find jarred pizza sauce at the store but if you are so inclined you can make an easy chunky homemade pizza sauce along with the homemade dough.

Just mix up the pizza dough.

Divide the pizza dough into 12 balls of dough.

Flatten the dough and load up with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni or any other favorite pizza topping.

Slather on some garlic butter and bake to a golden brown.
