Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6 English muffins, split in half<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 pound ground beef<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon onion powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon paprika<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Salt and black pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons melted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instruction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Split the English muffins in half and place them cut side up on a foil-lined baking tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightly brush each muffin half with melted butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drain any excess grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spoon the seasoned beef evenly over each English muffin half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broil for 1 to 2 minutes for a golden, lightly browned cheese topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sprinkle with dried parsley if desired and serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook the beef until well browned for maximum flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drain excess fat to keep the muffins from becoming soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toasting the muffins slightly before adding the toppings creates a crisp base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake until the cheese melts completely, then broil briefly for an irresistible golden finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with a fresh salad, fries, or roasted vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try cheddar, provolone, or Monterey Jack instead of mozzarella for a different flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add saut\u00e9ed onions, mushrooms, or jalape\u00f1os for extra texture and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prepare the beef mixture ahead of time for even faster assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
