Slice up the Italian bread into small subs. Then slice each one open to fill with the burger mixture. On a separate plate, slice the cheese into small cubes.  Begin preparing each serving. Put some of the salad mix on one of the plates.

What a great idea to use those long loaves as “rolls”. My boyfriend would eat a sandwich for every meal and this is a great way to mix it up without breaking the bank on bread. This kinda of bread always freezes well, too.

This is a great idea. Something my family of 8 would eat. It is hard to find meals my growing boys will enjoy. Thanks for the idea!
