Retro Recipes #SundaySupper - English Muffin Pizzas

This week #SundaySupper is taking us "back in the day" with Retro Recipes that we all grew up with.
Sunday Supper Movement Do you remember your Mom making you English Muffin Pizzas?
We had them alot growing up and it's a great memory of mine.
It was fun for us to create our own little pizzas.
Does anyone remember Butoni Toast-R-Pizzas?
Some sort of a shell-like crust that burned the roof of your mouth
and the filling in the middle was usually still frozen.
There are alot of recipes for English Muffin Pizzas out there - the idea has been around forever it seems.
Just one word of advice.
You must toast the English Muffin before your put on your sauce and cheese.
After all, the best part is all those little crispy nooks and crannies!
I always like mine "well done".
I would toast them twice to make them extra crispy.

Join us Around the Family Table this Sunday at 7pm Eastern Time and share your favorite Retro Food Memory with us!

  10. Hi Patti, I love your new blog look!! Looks great. I LOVE English muffin pizzas. I make them from time to time, I always lightly toast the muffins, I do use mozzarella, pizza sauce or my leftover marinara, and I like a lot of oregano on them. They are soooo good. They were Friday night supper during Lent when I was a kid. xo

  23. Yummy! I love this idea! It sure beats the frozen pizza I have lying around in my freezer. I never had English muffin pizzas as a kid but I did eat a lot of McCain pizza pockets. Looking back, I realize how disgusting those things were!
