This so isn't a cooking blog, but I know lately it seems that way! I do love to cook and I also love entering cooking contests. On the heels of my third place finish in the Spam cookoff at our fair, I decided to enter the French's Cookoff with a recipe that I'd actually eat! My recipe is for French Bread Cheeseburger Pizza. It's pretty darn tasty and always a hit with the kids. Please go vote for my recipe by visiting the link!
One reason my kids love this recipe is they get to help in the kitchen. When we were making this last night for dinner, my three year old held the cheese grater. It was a pretty big deal to her and she just grinned and told everyone how she helped make dinner. How can you go wrong with a recipe when you're kids get to help out?
Preheat oven's broiler. In a large skillet, brown hamburger. Drain off any fat. Add the chopped onion. Turn off heat. Add in French's mustard and ketchup and stir to coat ground beef. To prepare french bread, cut in half. Scoop out some of the inside of the bread to make a "gutter." Spoon meat filling into gutter. Sprinkle on cheese and garnish with pickles. Place the french bread halves under the broiler and broil til cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
