I normally have guest posts on Friday but I owe Toni-Lynn (who saves TONS of money on groceries! Seriously, you’ve got to check her grocery blog out!) since I told her two+ weeks ago that I’d publish it. Sorry about that girl! These look great and like something the kiddos could help make! And if you’re feeling really energetic and like the “from scratch” method, try making the english muffins from scratch!
If your going to make these babies I suggest that you make a lot of them! My family of 4 can polish off 2 bags of English Muffins when I make them. These are Super Simple and a great way to get your kids in the kitchen with you!
Preheat your oven to 360 Degrees. Split your english muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet. Spread your favorite pasta sauce on each half. That is the hand of my 7 year old. helping out.
Next, I sprinkle on a LITTLE Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Oregano and Parmesan Cheese. I stress a LITTLE because these are obviously small and the spices can over power them very quickly if you put on to much.
The most important part is next! Top with your favorite shredded cheese. I like to use a mix of cheeses for this. Kraft makes a 6 Cheese Italian blend which is what i usually use. I like a lot of cheese on mine.
Bake them for about 10 minutes. Just watch for your cheese to be nice and melted. This was the best finished picture I could get because my family always attacks them! I almost didn’t get one.

These look great. I do this all the time and I use a variety of bread. Today, I did this but used some Foccacia bread that Wal-Mart had on their day old bread rack last night for 90 cents. I just took a knife and spit the bread. The boys devoured it. I also will use leftover biscuits from breakfast, pitas, tortillas, bagels, you name it. It’s really easy and a great way to use up leftover pasta sauce and bread. I’m a long-time subscriber. Great blog.
This definitely takes me back. My mom used to make these all the time when we were kids.
We used to have these as after-school snacks a lot growing up. Ragu used to make something called Pizza Quick (not sure if they still do or not) and it was perfect to keep in the fridge to use on the English muffins!
I remember eating these as a kid.
Hmm…wonder if this was a recipe on the back of a box or something. My mum used to make these for us kids all the time (about 20 years ago).
Thanks for posting Lori! We actually had them tonight. Kids love eating and making them.

why you so stingy on number 12 pizza?
whats with the clumb of salt on number 7 ?
Way to much cheese on number 5? do we wanna have a heartattack?
You also have a very large hand? why couldn’t you have a smaller one..
This is such a great way to personalize pizzas when you have lots of little ones. And it makes for a super quick dinner.
I shared your recipe with my readers last week and linked it back to you. Hope you’ll swing by and check it out.
