"I always forget to pull meat out of the freezer for my husband before I go to work, so this invention came to me on a late Monday when I needed something yummy in a hurry."

I made these on a weeknight when I had of course forgotten to take meat out of the freezer. They were really good sandwiches, the sourdough bread was great with this. I used turkey pepperoni and just some shredded mozzarella cheese to try to make it slightly healthier. The sauce was good, too, the mushrooms and onions really give it a pizza taste.

Pizza in a sandwich - yum! I like mushrooms on my pizza so I added some sliced ones to the sandwich in addition to what was in the sauce. To heat my sandwich, I buttered both sides of the bread and grilled it like a grilled cheese sandwich. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2008
