This is actually one of the very first pins that I pinned and I was so excited to try it. It was very simple. The ratio of filling to bread was perfect. There wasn't any one flavor that overwhelmed any other - it was just the perfect balance of flavor!
In Tennessee, my mom-in-law had a freezer stocked with Italian sausage. My husband went crazy for it. I'm pretty sure that's all he ate while we were there :) I couldn't find pizza sauce at the commissary, but I was able to find the brand of my favorite pizza sauce in spaghetti sauce. I happened to have stumbled upon an Italian Sausage with Peppers & Onions sauce. I grabbed it up because the recipe didn't call for onions or peppers and I love onions and peppers in EVERYTHING.

- 1/2 lb to 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
- Pepperoni
- Pizza sauce
