Aunt Ellie Couch
Hint: I leave out the 2 T. sugar; it doesn't change the flavor. I do not serve with grapes, oranges or peaches - too messy, but I do serve with cantaloupe, and pineapple.

Pizza Spread

We usually eat one large meal on Sunday afternoon and then get the munchies during the early evening hours. This is a quick and easy snack to whip up and then put into the fondue pot. At our house it gets rave reviews and we're always thinking of other people we can share this recipe with as we chat and eat around the table.

Pizza Spread

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 jar (26 oz) marinara or spaghetti sauce
1 t. dried oregano
4 C (16 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 loaf Italian or French bread, cubed or sliced

In a saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in marinara sauce and oregano. Gradually stir in cheese until melted. Pour into a fondue pot or small slow cooker to keep warm. Serve with bread.

Serving: 8-10
