English Muffin Pizzas (Photos)

Just a short post here. I am certain everyone has done this, but for a dreary rainy day, they are a pretty good lunch. At our house, we like English Muffins and we like pizza. Seems a shame not to combine the two.

Need:

English muffins
Pizza Sauce
Pepperoni, or your toppings
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

We make and keep frozen portions of our own sauce.

Sauce

15 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 of a small onion - not chopped
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoons dried basil
1 Teaspoon powdered garlic
If you like your sauce sweeter, add 1 - 3 teaspoons sugar

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook for 20 minutes over low heat. Do not chop the onion. Simmer it in the sauce and remove at he end. Cool the sauce and freeze in 2 or 3 Tablespoon portions in muffin tins. When frozen, remove and store in ziplock freezer bags in your freezer. IT seems to keep fine for up to 3 months.

To use the sauce, thaw in a microwave bowl, using 30 second pulses, until the sauce thaws, then stir and use


Making the pizzas:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Split the English muffins, then toast them in toaster, toaster oven, or under the broiler.

Add sauce.



Add Mozzarella cheese,



Pepperoni slices



Parmesan Cheese



Cook in oven (on a cookie sheet) until the cheese melts.



You could do with pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage, cooked Hamburger meat, whatever. They are also very good with just cheese. IMO, they don't do very well with multiple ingredients - so I don't do a supreme style on this small sized pizza.

Shots







Enjoy with a nice salad.



I have done these on hamburger buns, but the muffins are better.

Thanks for looking
