Description

A quick and flavorful Mexican-inspired English muffin pizza featuring a spicy sausage and cheese topping, perfect for a convenient and delicious snack or meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Cheese

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 2 (5-oz) jars Kraft Old English Cheese spread

Seasonings and Vegetables

  • 1 (1-oz) package taco seasoning
  • 1 (10-oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained

Bread

  • 8 English muffins, split


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400ºF to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pizzas until they are golden and bubbly.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is no longer pink and crumbled completely. Drain off any excess fat to keep the topping flavorful but not greasy.
  3. Mix the Toppings: To the cooked sausage in the skillet, add the Kraft Old English Cheese spread, taco seasoning, and drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Stir and cook on medium-low heat until the cheese melts and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Prepare the Muffins: Arrange the split English muffin halves on a cookie sheet, creating the base for your mini pizzas. Spoon an even amount of the sausage and cheese mixture onto each half.
  5. Bake the Pizzas: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the English muffins turn golden brown and the topping is bubbling hot. Remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the sausage is fully cooked to avoid any food safety issues.
  • Drain the Rotel tomatoes well to prevent soggy English muffins.
  • Use freshly split English muffins for the best texture.
  • You can substitute Kraft Old English Cheese spread with any preferred cheese spread for a different flavor profile.
  • These pizzas are great for a quick snack, party appetizers, or a light meal.
