Pizza Burgers

livie's Note:

A great old school lunch favorite we all just love around our house. If your afraid of using luncheon meat just replace with more hamburger or small cubed pepperoni. Great all ways!

We love these on english muffins and we top the whole thing with pepperoni. Meat lovers dream come true.

Excellent! I got this from the great lunch ladies at my elementary school in the '80s. I use bologna in mine. I hear tell you can use hot dogs, too! Loved by children everywhere. Great birthday party food for little kids.
