English Muffin Pizza
This is a dish that we came up with when my wife and I were a starving sailor family. We got good at doing cheap things that we enjoyed like pizza. This is as simple, fast, and flexible as what is in the fridge. We served 1 split English Muffin pizza (2 halves) to each dinner with some great macaroni or other salad. This ingredients list gets you 10 pizzas. You can even make it a bit of a do-it-yourself dinner, allowing each diner to assemble their own pizzas.
