Speedy English Muffin Pizza         Yield: 12 individual pizzas

1 (6 oz.) pkg. English muffins

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce

1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 cup (about 1/2 pkg.) Ground Beef Mix, thawed

1 1/2 to 2 cups of shredded cheese (such as Mozzarella, Cheddar, Parmesan)

1.     Split English muffins in half (a fork works well for this task). 

2.     Toast English muffin halves and place on a baking sheet with cut side up.

3.     Combine tomato sauce and Italian seasoning; spread approximately 1 to 2 tablespoons of sauce on each muffin.  Add Ground Beef Mix.  Top with approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Spoon meat mixture generously over English muffins.  Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and top with grated cheese. 

4.     Bake in preheated 350° oven until cheese is melted, lightly browned, and bubbly (about 10 to 12 minutes).

Microwave alternative:  Place prepared muffins on a microwave safe plate and heat in microwave.


Variations: Use pepperoni or cooked chicken in place of the Ground Beef Mix, or leave off all meat for a vegetarian-style pizza.
