Ingredients:
- 1 Italian sausage
- 1 green pepper
- 1 onion
- 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 cups tomato sauce
- 1 package English muffins (6 muffins)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions:
1. Prep the Ingredients:
-
Italian Sausage: Brown the Italian sausage in a skillet until it’s perfectly cooked. Remember to drain any excess fat to keep things nice and light.
-
Veggies Galore: Chop up the green pepper, onion, and fresh mushrooms. These will add amazing flavors and textures to your muffins.
-
Garlic Magic: Mince the garlic cloves finely. Garlic is the secret ingredient that elevates the taste of this dish.
2. Cook the Sausage and Veggies:
- In the same skillet where you cooked the sausage, add the green pepper, onion, mushrooms, and minced garlic. πΏ Saute everything together, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the veggies to soften.
3. Tomato Sauce Simmer:
- Pour in the tomato sauce, and let it all simmer together, uncovered, for a glorious 20 minutes. π This allows the flavors to intensify, creating a rich, hearty sauce.
4. Muffin Assembly:
-
While the sauce is simmering, it’s time to prepare your English muffins. Split each muffin in half and place them on a baking sheet.
-
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meaty sauce onto each muffin half. π₯ Make sure each muffin gets a generous portion of that delicious sausage and veggie mixture.
-
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce. π§ This will create that classic gooey, cheesy pizza goodness.
5. Broil to Perfection:
- Now, it’s time to melt that cheese and make these muffins sing! Place the baking sheet under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. π Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as broilers work quickly!
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the muffins are hot and toasty, it’s time to dig in! π Serve these Sausage Pizza Muffins immediately for the ultimate enjoyment.
