Full Recipe Ingredients: makes 8 slices 1 lb. cooked ground beef – 2 c. ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. salt 2 loaves of French bread, split down center and each cut into 4 pieces ½ c. pepperoni 2 c. pizza sauce 4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese ½ c. parmesan cheese

Half Recipe Ingredients: makes 4 slices ½ lb. cooked ground beef – 1 c. ¼ tsp. garlic powder ¼ tsp. salt 1 loaf of French bread, split down center and cut into 4 pieces ¼ c. pepperoni 1 c. pizza sauce 2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese ¼ c. parmesan cheese

To Freeze:

Stir garlic powder, salt, and ground beef. Cut bread approximately 1/3 from the top. Carefully hollow out the bottom of the roll, leaving a 1/4” shell.

Mix beef, pepperoni and pizza sauce together. Spread/fill each loaf of bread with 2 c. meat mixture. Top with parm. and mozz. cheeses. Replace bread top. Cut each loaf into 4 pieces. Place each piece on a piece of tin foil (standard, not heavy duty unless you want to increase the baking time). Wrap, put in labeled freezer bags (2 pieces per bag/everyone gets 4 bags), seal and freeze up to 3 months.

To Cook:

Place loaves still in the tin foil on baking sheet at 350 degrees for 25 min. (You could also thaw these in fridge first and then bake for 18 min.). If you take them out of the foil and bake them, they get crusty on the outside and will stay soft on the inside
