Slices of this hearty french bread pizza are guaranteed to please. I sometimes substitute spaghetti sauce for the pizza sauce, or add our favorite veggies to the toppings.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground beef
• 1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce
• 8 ounces canned sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1 loaf (1 pound) french bread
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in pizza sauce and mushrooms; set aside.
2. Cut bread in half lengthwise, then into eight pieces. Spread meat sauce on bread; place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes or until cheese melted and bubbly.
