Ingredients
– 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade

– 1 onion, diced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/4-inch thick.
3. Use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut out 12 circles from the dough.
4. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin and press the dough circles into the cups, creating a small pie crust in each one.

6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture into each dough-lined muffin cup.
7. Top each pot pie with a small spoonful of marinara sauce.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
9. Carefully remove the pot pies from the muffin tin and serve warm.
