Pizza Burgers

9 English Muffins
Jar of Cheese Whiz
1.5 pounds ground beef
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 Tbsp. dry minced onion
15 oz can Contadina pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Brown 18 English Muffin halves under broiler. Spread with Cheese Whiz.

Filling: (prepare while browning muffins)
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic salt. Add the pizza sauce. Put filling on muffins after the cheese. Next, top with shredded mozzarella. Put under broiler until cheese melts. Serve immediately or flash freeze and then package in freezer bags.

Serving Instructions:
DO NOT THAW. Put on cookie sheet in oven at 400F for 15-25 minutes. It's great to keep these in the freezer at all times for those times you don't have time to prepare dinner. Freezer to oven is great.
