Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (1 lb.) French sourdough bread
  • 6 thin pieces (each about 4 in. wide; 1 1/2 oz. total) sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • 3/4 pound ground lean (7% fat) beef or ground turkey
  • 1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup purchased marinara sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1 can (2 1/4 oz.) sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Split loaf in half horizontally. Scoop out soft centers, making top and bottom bread shells about 1/2 inch thick. Reserve centers for another use. Set bread shells, cupped side up, on a 12- by 15-inch baking sheet. Bake in a 400° oven until bread is toasted, about 8 minutes.
  2. 2
    Line bread shell cavities with mozzarella, overlapping slices as needed, and draping onto the rim of the bread.
  3. 3
    In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, frequently stir meat, mushrooms, and oregano until meat is browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes. Add half the marinara sauce, half the olives, 3/4 cup onions, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Fill bread shells equally with meat mixture. Top meat filling with remaining marinara sauce, olives, and onions. Sprinkle with parmesan.
  5. 5
    Bake in a 400° oven until hot throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut crosswise into 2- to 3-inch sections.
