So-easy-to-make-it's-not-even-funny pizza bagels

I've had quite a weekend. I have done my laundry, gone grocery shopping, shot and edited video, gotten my picture taken for the contributing writers section of Image Magazine and I have tried to study for two tests (and failed miserably at that). I still have more studying to do, but I sure don't want to. Seeing as how my weekend has been so packed the only reason I went grocery shopping was because I had to cook something for the blog, I was looking for something that didn't require much brainpower. Even less than my standard entries, which definitely do not require any talent. So I settled for pizza bagels. Quick and easy to make, and just as easy to devour.

Ingredients
1 bagel
Pasta sauce of your choice
Shredded cheddar cheese (yes, cheddar)

Buy bagels at the grocery store or at your favorite bakery. Get something else than plain bagels if you'd like. I prefer those cover and sesame seeds and other random tasty things. Don't go for blueberry. But you don't need me to tell you that.

Preheat the oven at 350F.

So basically, you cut a bagel in halves and you spread sauce on them. Then you top the halves with shredded cheddar cheese. While mozzarella seems to be the obvious choice of cheese, cheddar I think goes better with this recipe. It's thicker and tastier. And my aunt made it that way, so I'm just keeping with tradition.

Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place the pizza bagels on top and stick it in the oven. A glorious meal will greet you triumphantly in about 10 minutes.

You could try sprinkling your pizza with condiments to make it even tastier, but I was to hungry to contemplate further delay when I made this recipe.

Easy snack food or meal replacement when you're in a hurry, you're out of Lean Cuisines and you're broke.
