Tuesday, June 17, 2008 Hearty Sausage Sandwich

Hey ladies! As I was preparing dinner today, I realized that this was a recipe that needed to be shared to ANYONE who is looking for a creative sandwich that is easy and filling! It took me about 15 minutes to prepare and another 5 minutes to put together....very simple and do-able for those on the go!

Ingredients:
1 lb Italian Sausage (ground)
1 chopped medium onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 8oz package of cream cheese (regular or fat-free...it won't change the flavor)
1/4 c. chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/4 c. water
1/4 tsp of oregano (my family prefers spicy, so I substituted crushed red pepper for the oregano)
1 Loaf of Italian Bread
1.5 c shredded mozzarela cheese

Directions:
**Cook sausage, onion, garlic and drain.
**Add cream cheese, water and oregano.
**Cook till cheese melts. Set aside.
**Cut bread in half...I cut the length in half and then cut both pieces down the center....you should now have 4 short pieces. Hollow out each piece (not completely, but enough so that the meat and cheese will have a place to sit.)
**Place the bottom piece of the bread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese...top with Sausage mixture and then top THAT with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
**Place the top half of your bread top of the sausage mixture...wrap each sandwich loaf with aluminum foil.
**Bake at 375 for 25 minutes.

FYI, this is a great meal to cook and then freeze...all you'll need to do is thaw a few minutes and re-heat! Enjoy!!
