English Muffin Pizzas

The first time I ever had this for dinner was in 1981 at my sister Donna's apartment.  This is my take on her recipe and I've been making it for years.  It's fast, easy and very tasty and there are endless combinations for toppings so you can make your favorite very easily.  This version is very meaty!



ENGLISH MUFFIN PIZZAS - SAUSAGE, PEPPERONI & EXTRA CHEESE VERSION

1 package English Muffins (6 of 'em)
16 ounce package Jimmy Dean sausage
Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 jar Pizza Sauce (more or less)
8 ounce package shredded Mozzarella cheese
Sliced Pepperoni

Preheat the oven to 425^F. and line a baking sheet with some aluminum foil.

Split the English Muffins in half and arrange them on the baking sheet.  Bake in the hot oven for about 10 minutes or until they begin to look a little toasted.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle with some grated Parmesan cheese.

Meanwhile, crumble the sausage in a large skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned. Drain any grease (Jimmy Dean won't have much!)

Spread a heaping tablespoon of pizza sauce on each muffin half.  Spoon the cooked sausage onto each one.  Pile the mozzarella cheese on top of the sausage and arrange the sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Bake in the hot oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown a little bit on top.

Good served with a nice Salad!  Feeds 4 to 6 people.
