Instructions
Prepare the English Muffins
- Split the English muffins in half. Spread each half with softened butter and sprinkle lightly with garlic powder. Arrange them on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown.
Cook the Onions
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Brown the Beef
- Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook thoroughly, breaking the meat apart with a spoon until browned and no pink remains.
Add Pepperoni and Sauce
- Stir in the chopped pepperoni, tomato soup, water, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Assemble the Burgers
- Place approximately ¼ cup of the beef and pepperoni mixture onto each toasted English muffin half.
Add Cheese and Broil
- Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the broiler and heat until the cheese has melted and is slightly golden.
Serve
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
