Yes, I know this makes it sound like it is a terrible bread. It isn’t really. This just means that you could put basically anything into the bread that you want and it will taste wonderful.
I have actually used leftover chicken and vegetables. That was a truly pleasant surprise.
Since then, I have used this to make all types of tasty meals.
This tasty version is the one that includes ground beef, peppers and onions, along with some bacon. I believe you are really going to love this!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I layer some tomato sauce or pizza sauce?
I believe that would be an awesome idea! Turn this into more of a pizza.
Can I use pizza dough instead of French Bread?
You certainly can! They do also have biscuits that you could lay out and turn into a loaf of bread.
How do I store this?
If you have any remaining, you only need to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and stick it in the refrigerator. It will last for 4 days.
