3 Meat French Bread Pizza
This easy 3-meat French bread pizza is packed with savory pepperoni, hearty ground beef, and sweet Italian sausage on a crispy on the outside, soft on the inside French bread crust and topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheese for the perfect tasty bite.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 14 ounce pizza sauce
- ½ pound ground beef cooked
- ½ pound ground Italian sweet sausage cooked
- ½ cup pepperoni cut into pieces
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Cut a loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and place it on a baking sheet with the cut side up.
- Brown the ½ pound of ground beef and ½ pound of ground Italian sweet sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain the grease.
- Once the ground beef and sausage are cooked, add the ½ cup pepperoni pieces and pizza sauce, then heat for 2 minutes until the meat mixture is warm.
- Spread the meat mixture on the French Bread and top with the 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Cool for 5-7 minutes, then slice into 6 pieces per half loaf for a total of 12 slices.
Notes
- Use the French bread from the grocery store or Walmart. Make sure it's French bread and not Italian, as the Italian is usually softer, which can make the French bread pizza soggy.
- Also, keep in mind that the meat mixture combined with the sauce prevents the bread from becoming soggy, which is often a common problem with traditional French bread pizza. So, if you decide to eliminate any of the meat, you will just have to adjust the amount of sauce that is used.
- Although 10 minutes bake time was perfect for us, if you like your French bread crispier, you can bake it for an extra 2 minutes.
