Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 loaf French bread, sliced lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups crumbled leftover meatloaf
- 1-1/4 cups pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded CoJack cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Hollow out the French bread slices, leaving about 1/2" shell. Freeze the removed bread to use for bread crumbs. Brush the hollowed-out loaves with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes until just starting to toast. Remove from oven and set aside.
In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 4 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook 4-5 minutes longer. Add meatloaf; stir gently, and heat through.
Spread pizza sauce over the toasted bread halves. Pile meatloaf mixture onto the bread and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 5-9 minutes until bread is crisp, pizzas are hot, and cheese is melted and just starts to brown.
