While I was up with one of our babies more than 20 years ago, I heard this secret family recipe shared on all-night talk show. None of our 12 children or our growing troop of grandchildren ever pass up this special stuffed bread. - Elaine Bent, Middleboro, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced italian bread |
1 pound ground beef |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 medium green pepper, chopped |
1 cup chopped fresh spinach |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Cut a thin slice off the top of bread; set top aside. Hollow out the loaf, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. Dice removed bread and set aside.
2. In a nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the onion, green pepper, spinach and tomato; cook 3-4 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in the oregano, salt, pepper, and diced bread.
3. Spoon into bread shell; replace top. Wrap tightly in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until heated through. Cut into slices. Yield: 6-8 servings.
