40 25 65

Ingredients

2 containers (15 ounces each) ricotta cheese
4 cups (1 pound) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped green pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 pounds bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
10 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 jars (16 ounces each) spaghetti sauce, heated

Directions

In a large bowl, combine cheeses, oregano and basil; set aside. In a large skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender; add to cheese mixture. In the same skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and stir into cheese mixture.
Divide each loaf of dough into four portions; roll each into a 6-in. circle. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling on half of one circle; fold dough over filling and seal edges. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush with butter. Place on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with spaghetti sauce for dipping. Yield: 40 servings.
