Poor Mans English Muffin Pizza Recipe
In a hurry? Have kids? On a budget? Well guess what you have the quickest dinner ever! When I was growing up, Mom called these poor mans pizza's, why? Because it was inexpensive, our parents were on a strick budget, mom didn't work and us kids loved it. Oh and by the way, the taste was fantastic, it's so easy to make and it didn't matter if you could cook or not! The kids can even make these! You will be a hero for sure! You can add their favorite toppings, they can be made in a toaster oven! If you keep a few ingredients on hand they're the perfect after school treat!
I have lots of suggestions below.
You will need to prepare the english muffins first before toppings:
English muffins should be split in half and then broiled until browned and crisp on top, watch closely not to burn.
When they are browned take them out and add your desired toppings. Brush each one with olive oil or butter then proceed with toppings below or your favorite combinations. Broil again with cheese on top, just until browned and bubbly.
Use sauce that is store bought or homemade and any of the ingredients suggestions and combinations below. Try to keep some of your favorite key ingredients on hand you like and a package of english muffins in the freezer for that quick throw together meal!
Make these to your family and friends tastes. Great for parties, picnics, pot lucks and appetizer for game day or any event. Let your creative juices flow and imagination for toppings.
