This is a great freezer meal. The recipe calls for only 1/2 pound of meat to cover both sides of a french bread cut horizontally. I usually make it with a whole pound of meat and freeze the second half for another meal.
This is a great dish with soup, especially if it is a meatless soup and you have carnivores in your home like mine!!! I get disgusted looks if I try to serve meatless meals.
1 Loaf French Bread- sliced in two, horizontally set aside
Pre-heat oven 400 degrees
1/2 pound Raw ground meat (I like Turkey since I avoid gr. beef like the plague)
1/4 c chopped black olives
1 clove garlic chopped
3/4 tsp. salt
dash pepper
1/4 tsp. oregano
6 oz. tomato paste
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, the real stuff
Mix and spread on the cut side of bread. Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
2 tomatoes slice thin (opt)
Cheese slices (Jack, cheddar, or I prefer both)
Add tomatoes and cheese slices. Bake 5 more minutes. Cut and serve.

I forgot. I freeze the meat only and wait on the bread until time to serve. It takes almost no freezer room and defrosts quickly!
