Quick and Easy Pizza Bread – perfect for freezing so you can make individual servings later. Lotsa veggies, kid-friendly, total comfort food. So the beauty of these pizza bread is that you can freeze them. Duh, right? But then after they are frozen and you put them all in a large container labeled “YUMMY YUM”, they are ready for you one at a time. So if you only need to heat up, say, three because the rest of your family is out for the night and you’re super hungry (just saying), you can just heat up the three and leave the rest for another time. No need to reheat and do the leftovers thing again. They are just ready for you when you’re ready for them. No more, no less, just right.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Olive oil
1 pound Ground beef
Salt
2 cups Chopped mushrooms
1 1/2 cups Pizza sauce
3 cups Chopped bell peppers
1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
8 Small ciabatta loave

Method

01

Veggies: Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the peppers and saute for 5 minutes; add the mushrooms and season with salt. Saute until soft. Drain excess moisture and set aside.
02

Hamburger: Brown the hamburger with a little bit of water. Season with salt and pepper or a little seasoning salt. Break apart thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Drain off the excess moisture and combine with the veggies. Add the pizza sauce and stir to combine. Place in the fridge to cool.
03

Assembling: Cut the tops off of the ciabatta loaves in a V-shape, leaving plenty of space inside the loaf for filling. Remove the filling from the fridge and mix in the cheese – if you add it while it’s hot, the cheese melts and sort of just disappears. Stuff each loaf with filling, and top with extra cheese if you want.
04

Baking: Bake at 400 degrees until the filling is warm and the bread is crispy on the outside. If they’re frozen, the baking will take longer (more like 20-30 minutes), but if they’re not frozen, it should only take 10-15 minutes.
