As a result, I'm always excited to find little "meals for one" that don't leave me with leftovers for days on end. This is such a recipe. I actually ate this at church this summer the night I helped with VBS. They served a meal before VBS and someone kindly saved the leftovers for those of us who had been busy with registration during the meal. I played around with it at home and now love making this when I need something quick and easy.
The Recipe
2 hamburger buns
4 tablespoons pizza sauce
20 slices pepperoni
1/2 - 2/4 cup mozzarella cheese
Separate top and bottom of hamburger buns and arrange on baking sheet. Spread one tablespoon of pizza sauce on each bun. Arrange 5 slices of pepperoni on each bun and sprinkle cheese over top. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees.
Another reason I'm excited about this recipe is it gives me a chance to use up the one or two leftover hamburger buns that linger after a round of BBQ or sloppy joes. You could also use leftover bagels - or probably biscuits too. And this is just what I always have on hand. You can certainly switch up the ingredients to include what you like on your pizza!
I don't really measure out the sauce...I just spread a little on the buns. I try not to overdo the sauce - mostly because I'll end up wearing it on my clothes. Not attractive. I use my Pampered Chef Small Bar Pan to cook these - perfect size!!
There is a brand of pepperoni that makes really cute dime-sized pepperoni pieces. They cost more, so I stick with the regular kind, but those little ones would be great for this project!
And there's no such thing as too much cheese, right? So load up!
Lunch! Or snacks for a little party. Very yummy!!!

I used to make these all the time but my recipe called for English muffins. I think your way is better, though. Tastes more like pizza dough.
English muffins!! That's the one I forgot! I knew someone had told me they'd seen it made with another "crust" but beyond bagels, I could not think of what they said! Thanks for putting my mind at ease! :) I'm a carb girl, so however I accomplish the intake...I'm all for it. :)
Oh Bekah! I think you come up with some of the best recipes!
Tsofah - Thanks!! :) They are fun to make. And I LOVED your mailbox comment on Chris's blog. I forgot to mention that in my answer and I felt bad chatting on his space. LOL
