Dunkers

Time needed:  40-45 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 1 loaf Italian bread (Italian, Dutch, or French will all work fine) - cut into rectangles or sliced evenly
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh mozz - pulled apart (I guess you could use the processed stuff that's already shredded in a bag but, that's gross...)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese - shredded
  • 1/4 cup parsley - finely chopped
  • Garlic salt
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup basil - chopped
  • 1/2 white onion

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 325
  • Brown ground beef over medium heat and season with salt and pepper to taste
  • Add sliced garlic, mushrooms, basil, onion and crushed tomatoes, cover, simmer (this should simmer for at least 30 minutes)
  • Place bread on a baking sheet and brush the bread pieces lightly with olive oil and season lightly with garlic salt
  • Sprinkle with the mozz and cheddar
  • Bake bread for 7-9 minutes or until the cheese has melted
