French Bread Pizza

As we were perusing the grocery store the other day, I caught a glimpse of a frozen french bread pizza and that was all it took. Had to have it! So, after purchasing all the necessary ingredients, we had one of the easiest, fastest and tastiest dinners! Enjoy!

French Bread Pizza

1 loaf of french bread
8 oz can of tomato sauce
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 onion-chopped
1 red bell pepper-chopped
1 green bell pepper-chopped
A pinch of garlic salt
A few pinches of parsley flakes
A pinch of oregano
A few pinches of basil
pepper to taste


First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and start chopping your toppings. I only used onions and peppers...but get wild with it! Once you are finished chopping, set aside.


Next, prepare your sauce. Simply heat an 8 oz can of tomato sauce and add your oregano, parsley, garlic salt and basil. I also gave it a couple turns of the pepper mill.


Now, cut your loaf of french bread length wise and then into your desired serving size. We are fatties so that is why these servings are HUGE. I'll have you know there were no left-overs...wait, why am I bragging about this? Anyway...spread your desired amount of sauce on each slice.


Next, add your desired amount of shredded cheese.


Now, add your toppings. I also sprinkled with a little basil.


Once done, pass over to the oven for 12-15 minutes...and BAM, done!
We enjoyed with a nice salad...so yummy!


This dish is perfect for meals with "mixed company"...meaning vegetarians and meat-eaters.

Let me explain...if you aren't getting the support you need from friends and family, feel free to make your dinner party BYOM (Bring Your Own Meat). You supply the ingredients listed above, they supply the pepperoni or sausage and guests dress their own slices at a topping station before baking. Everyone wins!

And, I'll have you know...this dish is puppy approved!
I pinched off a bite for him and he was one happy puppy, licking his lips in approval!
