French Bread Pizza

 

This is a great quick night meal idea! Add some tossed salad and you have a meal! :-)

French Bread
Pizza Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Pepperoni

Pizza toppings of your choice

First take the bread loaf and cut it in half in the middle, then cut in half long ways.

Add the sauce,toppings, and cheese and bake at 400 until cheese is brown and bubbly.
NOTE: if you like crunchy pizza toast the bread a little before you add the sauce, if you like chewy pizza don't :-)

Yum Yum!

Chili {Wendy's Style}

I love this time of year! The weather in East Tennessee has been perfect the last few days!
Last week when I was making my menu I specifically left Sunday blank because I wanted to see what the weather was really going to do...Warm=Grill...Cool=Chili! Yay for cool weather because I got to try out this recipe I had been wanting to try for a while! I love Wendy's chili and this recipe(I think) is just a smidge better!!  :-)

Ingredients:
4 pounds ground beef, browned and drained

2 large yellow (sweet) onions, chopped

5 large green bell peppers, chopped

4 celery stalks, chopped

2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic (I use jarred)

2 cans Ranch Style Beans, NOT drained (15 ounce cans)

2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounce cans)

2 cans Original Rotel Diced Tomatoes & Green Chili (10 ounce cans)

2 cans stewed tomatoes (15 ounce cans)

4 cans plain tomato sauce (15 ounce cans)

2 packages McCormick Mild Chili Seasoning (1.25 ounce packages)


Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large stock pot(it filled my 10quart pot)

Simmer for at least three hours (I let mine cook all day long).

I found this recipe on Pinterest and I believe it originated from this website Aprils Little Family
