Ingredients:
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 small onions, chopped
1 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 (11 ounce) cans Pillsbury refrigerated crusty french loaf
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Heat oven to 350*F. Spray cookie sheet and large skillet with nonstick cooking spray. In sprayed skillet combine ground beef and onion; cook until beef is thoroughly cooked, stirring. Drain.
Add tomato sauce, flour and spices. Mix well. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, remove dough from can and place on lightly floured surface. Cut loaf in half lengthwise. Roll each half to form a 16 X 4 inch rectangle. Place 1 dough rectangle on sprayed cookie sheet, being careful not to change shape.
Stir 1/2 cup of the cheese into the gorund beef mixture. Spoon and spread mixture over dough rectangle. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; top with remaining dough rectangle.
Bake at 350*F for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut in slices to serve.
Note* if you wish you may substitute your own bread dough recipe for the refrigerated dough. This is what I do as I can’t get the refrigerated dough over here.
