Ground Beef Mummy Bread

By á-10847

Hearty sandwich that looks like mummies! This is a take on a pepper steak sandwich, but made with ground beef and the cheese melted to make it look like a mummy.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
• 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
• 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
• 1/2 cup creamy Italian dressing
• 1 loaf Italian bread (12 inches long), halved lengthwise
• 4 slices thinly sliced provolone cheese, quartered

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven control to broil.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef, bell peppers and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in 1/4 cup of the dressing.

Spread remaining 1/4 cup dressing on cut sides of bread. Place both halves, cut sides up, on ungreased large cookie sheet. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 2 to 4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove bread from broiler. Spread beef mixture on cut halves of bread. Top with cheese.

Return to broiler; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cut each half into 2 pieces.

TIPS:
You can use any meltable cheese for these sandwiches, such as American, mozzarella or Gouda.
Italian bread has a dense texture that works well for these hot broiled sandwiches
