This is another one of 30 Day Gourmets super easy, freeze ahead meals! This one wasn't very healthy but it still was really yummy! The girls didn't enjoy this one but Brian and I really did! This made a huge batch, so I halved the recipe and Brian still had leftovers for lunch for 3 days! (I did option 2 and only put it in the crockpot for about 45 minutes)
1 lb Italian sausage (we used turkey sausage)
1 lb Ground beef (we used ground turkey)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
30 oz Jar of pizza sauce (such as Ragu®)
On Hand Ingredients
3 French bread loaves, sliced in half
1 lb Mozzarella cheese slices (I used shredded b/c that's what we had on hand)
Assembly Directions:
Brown sausage and beef together; drain.
Option one: Mix cooked meat and all ingredients together.
Option two: Place in slow cooker. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, pizza sauce (and red pepper, if desired). Cook on high 1-2 hours, stirring once per hour. Cool.
Freezing Directions:
Place mixture in a freezer bag or freezer container. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Option one: Thaw and add to slow cooker. Cook on high 1-2 hours, stirring once per hour.
Option two: Thaw and reheat in saucepan/microwave. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. With sliced loaf, pull a small amount of bread out of the bottom half, to make a 'bowl'. With a slotted spoon, place meat mixture onto bottom half of bread and top with cheese slices (5-6 slices per loaf). Place the top on the French bread loaf. Wrap in foil and bake for 15 minutes in oven. Remove and slice into pieces.
