POOR MAN'S PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Brown ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder- DO NOT DRAIN OFF FAT!
• Spread cooked beef and all juices over the Doritos.
• Sprinkle all of the cheese over beef.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
• While it is in the oven, cut lettuce into shreds and dice tomatoes.
• Toss with Italian dressing.
• Place a mound of the salad on the plate.
• Cut "pizza" into lasagna like squares and put it directly on the salad mixture.

HOT TRUCK P M P - POOR MAN'S PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut the French bread loaf in half crosswise and then slice them completely open, horizontally. Place the four pieces of bread on a baking sheet.
• Using a ladle or spoon, spread the pizza sauce on all pieces of bread, being sure to cover out to the edges (to prevent burning) and sprinkle with oregano.
• Spread mushrooms across each bottom half of the bread. (This is officially for the "PMP Mush" version - use pepperoni for "PMP Pep").
• Generously cover the mushrooms with mozzarella.
• Bake 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the French bread is golden brown. Lay the top halves of the French bread on the bottom halves to make sandwiches. I also tried it in the panini maker which was faster and tasted the same, but the cheese didn't melt quite like the original. Enjoy!
