Stuffed Bread with Bolognese Sauce
This Stuffed Bread with Bolognese Sauce is loaded with seasoned ground beef, tender peppers and onions, tomato, red wine, and plenty of melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs Ground chuck
- 1 bunch Parley chopped
- 1 or 2 Long french breads
- 2 cups Fresh mozzarella shredded
- 2 tbsp Canola oil
- 1 large green bell pepper (or 2 smaller) diced
- 1 large red bell pepper (or 2 smaller) diced
- 1 medium Carrot diced
- 1 medium Onion diced
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 cup Red wine
- 2-3 tbsp Tomato sauce
- ½ can Roasted tomato salsa with green chilis
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
- 2 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tsp Mexican chili powder
- 2 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients. Dice the bell peppers, carrot, and onion and mince the garlic.
- Cook the vegetables. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes. Add the canola oil, bell peppers, onion, garlic, and seasonings. Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and translucent.
- Brown the beef. Add the ground chuck and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring frequently, until nicely browned.
- Make the Bolognese. Pour in the red wine, tomato sauce, and roasted tomato salsa with green chiles. Stir and simmer for 25–30 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce and the flavors to develop.
- Cool. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the Bolognese cool for about 10 minutes.
- Prepare the bread. Slice the French bread lengthwise. Remove some of the soft bread from the center to create a hollow area for the filling.
- Stuff the bread. Add a layer of shredded mozzarella, spoon the Bolognese sauce over the cheese, then top with additional mozzarella.
- Bake. Place in a 450°F oven for 10–15 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the mozzarella is melted.
- Serve. Garnish with chopped parsley, slice, and serve warm.
