I have made these several times. The family loves them! The first time I made these I followed the recipe exactly. We thought they were pretty bland. Next time, instead of the canned tomatoes and tomato paste, I used some spaghetti sauce instead. We loved them! Basically, the spaghetti sauce makes it more of an Italian sloppy joe. Walmart has a thick sliced garlic bread, sold in their bakery section. (Not the frozen stuff.) Oh boy! That bread takes it over the top. Just bake it as the package instructs, top with the meat mixture and some cheese, and you just may think you are in heaven! <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-10-25","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"tammycookblogsbooks"},"reviewBody":"

Good. I agree with NoelleBusson Dunkley <\/strong>about adding salt for those who say it's bland.
