French Bread Hawaiian Pizza Hoagies

Ham, pineapple, sweet pepper, and mozzarella cheese bring a taste of the islands to this easy sandwich.

Ingredients:

• 1 large loaf French bread
• Pizza sauce
• 1 pound thinly sliced cooked ham
• 5 to 6 fresh or canned pineapple rings, drained
• 1 green sweet pepper, sliced into rings
• 1/3 cup bottled mild banana pepper rings, drained
• 5 to 6 slices mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Cut bread in half lengthwise. Spread pizza sauce over both halves of bread. Place on a cookie sheet and broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until bread is toasty. Top bread with sliced ham; broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until meat is heated through. Layer with the pineapple rings, sweet pepper rings, banana pepper rings, and cheese. Sprinkle with oregano. Broil for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts. To serve, put bread halves back together to form the sandwich. Cut into servings.
