My Grandma Knew.

A crisped English muffin brushed with garlic butter, topped with a savory meat sauce and melty cheese? Oh MAN these are good.
I’m presently very obsessive about these, which is form of making me chuckle, as a result of it looks like a peak 90s Midwestern mother second. HERE FOR IT!
“Pizza burgers” are a staple of my childhood. My grandma made these on a regular basis, and each time she would come go to our household, she’d re-up our freezer stash.
This recipe is sort of a collab between my grandma and me: she at all times did them on English muffins, and I favor floor Italian sausage (or turkey, or hen), and brushing all of it with garlic butter.
They’re simply my favourite for the end-of-school-year insanity proper now:
- They’re MINDLESSLY EASY.
- My children love them.
- Enjoyable toppings may be combined in (my fave = pepperoncini).
- And, importantly: they are often pulled out of the freezer and reheated one by one – supreme for the occasions we are attempting to get out the door to soccer or discover one thing to eat shortly between work conferences and simply questioning each life choice that led us to this second.

Whereas within the means of scripting this submit, I actually simply ate two of them for lunch. Oh man, so good.
Pulled out of the freezer. Air-fried for 8 minutes. Drizzled them with good olive oil (DELICIOUS) and topped with some kosher salt and served alongside a pile of supremely crunchy cucumbers. It was a second!
Hope you like these! From my Midwestern grandma, to me, to all of us. 🙂
