This fun little recipe has become a HUGE HIT in our house! I quite love them too! It’s something about giving kids choices that yields a genius result. They EAT REALLY WELL! My kids love the idea of all the different varieties of these English Muffin Pizzas and I see this recipe becoming a fixture for snacks and suppers for a long time to come. They bake up to crispy, yummy perfection!

So I’m going to sound old now. I got this idea for these English Muffin Pizzas back in elementary school. I am from a small town called Iowa, La. My mom was a school secretary, so I had to stay after school everyday. My friend, Amber, and I would borrow $1.00 from her grandmother (who was also my wonderful 5th grade teacher). We would walk down to the pizza place down the street and buy 2 english pizzas for 50 cents each. They were such a special treat, and I’ve never forgotten that memory. It’s pretty fun to put this recipe to use now.

Possible English Muffin Pizza Combinations:

Traditional Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza
Chicken and Bacon Alfredo Pizza
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Margherita Pizza
Tomato Basil Alfredo Pizza

Tips for Making English Muffin Pizzas:

We used leftover grilled chicken, which was really convenient for a quick recipe like this.
Microwave bacon is also perfect. I seriously have to hide this from my people in the back of my fridge.
Make several different kinds! This is what makes these so much fun! Kids love to have choices. It’s a huge deal and I find they eat so much better!
Don’t be afraid to buy 2 packages of english muffins. You will want to make them again! We definitely keep these ingredients on hand all the time.
These would be great in lunch boxes or perfect for after school too!
