HOT TRUCK P M P - POOR MAN'S PIZZA
This is posted in tribute to Bob Petrillose, its creator who passed away last month. I had the honor of eating way too many of these pizza subs during my college days. Rumor has it that a student who worked in the truck sold the idea to Stouffer's and was the origin of the French Bread 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!

This is an awesome recipe that I got from my coworker. It can be modified in many ways, including for the slow cooker. It's a simple meal of things you often already have on hand that really sticks to the bones, and it can also be a fun way to use up some leftovers.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Crush Doritos- put in bottom of a rectangular baking dish- I use a lasagna pan.
- 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.
Tips:
- Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings to create a pizza that's unique and delicious. Some popular options include pepperoni, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. You can also add vegetables like spinach, kale, or artichoke hearts for a healthier option.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings: While it's tempting to pile on the toppings, it's important to remember that less is more. Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible: Fresh ingredients will give your pizza the best flavor. If you can, try to use fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese.
- Don't overcook the pizza: Pizza is best when it's cooked just until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Overcooking the pizza will make the crust tough and the cheese dry.
Conclusion:
Poor man's pizza is a delicious and affordable way to enjoy a classic Italian dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little creativity, you can make a pizza that's just as good as anything you'd find at a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give poor man's pizza a try. You won't be disappointed.
