We make pizza bites.
First we get some hamburger buns or English muffins.
Second we add some ingredients of our favorite ingredients chopped up small.
Third we used Ragu or some kind of yummy sauce and cover the bun.
Fourth we top the bites with lots of mozzarella cheese. We sprinkle some Oregano on top, but not required.
Line them up on a cookie sheet and put them in a preheated oven at 450 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes or until done. You’ll know by looking at them.
Enjoy, but be careful! They will be hot, especially the melted cheese! Kids love these and so do adults! Quick, easy & tasty!
