We made this for Sunday night dinner...so yummy! The leftovers were great as well. This recipe would also be great for a football or superbowl party.

I couldn't wait to make this recipe. Although i too made a few minor alterations. I used ground chicken, diced up 2 dill pickle stacker slices and added a bit more ketchup to balance out the mustard ketchup ratio. DELICIOUS! Oh yeah, and don't be scared of the french bread, if you UNROLL starting at the seam there are no issues, you don't have to roll it with a rolling pin. I rolled mine out on a glass cutting board and after filling and pinching seams, i placed the sprayed cookie sheet directly on top, and flipped the whole thing over, slowly removing the cutting board, it transferred remarkably well.

Innovative idea, however filling flavor could use a bit of work.

Thanks Catherine! I did make it as instructed the first time. (I always do that for recipes.) but I had a very very hard time rolling out the dough. I will try the pizza crust, hopefully that will work out easier. Otherwise this was very good! Family loved it.

I have never seen french bread dough so I made my own in my breadmaker. Next time I will use half of the recipe I think.

I used real cheddar cheese instead of "plastic cheese". I added pizza sauce to the meat as well.

This was good, I will definitely make it again. Hmmm, maybe with mozzarella next time!

I don't have all the ingredients, but by Saturday I should. What a great idea!!

I love this recipe. For those who have trouble rolling out the bread dough (like I did), try refrigerated pizza crust. It's longer and wider right out of the package, so you save lots of time and it's plenty of bread. Same baking time.

I substituted ground turkey in this recipe & left out the green pepper. I also unrolled the dough on the baking sheet & baked seem side up. It came out beautifully and the whole family really enjoyed it. Will definitely become a regular at our house.
