Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Loaf Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Marketside Italian Loaf Bread 16 oz. (from Walmart)
• 1 pound of ground sausage (I used venison)
• 1 teaspoon of olive oil (for frying)
• 1/2 large onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers, different colors, sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
• 2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 6 tablespoons of butter
• 1 teaspoon of garlic, minced
• Dash of salt (optional)
• Dash of ground black pepper (optional)

Getting It Done:

1. Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat. Once heated, add the sausage and fry until it is no longer pink. Scramble and break up the meat into smaller pieces as it is frying. Remove from the heat and drain any excess grease.
2. While the sausage is frying, thinly slice the bell peppers and onions. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a skillet heated to medium-high.
3. Sauté until tender. Add the basil and oregano and lightly toss. Remove from heat and set aside for later.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
5. Put 6 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic in a small bowl and heat in the microwave just until it’s melted. It should take 20 seconds or less. Add a dash of salt and black pepper.
6. Split the bread down the middle and remove about 1/2″ of the bread from the center of each half.
7. With a basting brush, put half of the butter and garlic mixture on each loaf half, making sure to coat the edges well.
8. Divide the sausage and put half on each loaf piece. Then add half of the onions and peppers and top with 1 cup of cheese each.
9. Bake at 375°F just long enough to melt the cheese.
10. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack or cutting board.
11. Cut each loaf half into four equal parts and enjoy.

My son, Chase, does not like peppers and onions, so I double the batch and omit the peppers and onions on one of them. I just leave it off and top it with sausage, cheese, and crushed red peppers. It is so good!

Make this recipe your own. Get creative! You can also use any kind of meat you have on hand. I have used several types of ground meats. Beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and venison work well with this recipe. Sometimes I go meatless and only use a mixture of veggies and cheese.
