Ingredients

1 pound bulk Johnsonville® Ground Sausage
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced Italian bread
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Add the cream cheese, mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, water and oregano. Cook and stir until cheese is melted.
Cut bread in half horizontally; hollow out top and bottom, leaving a 3/4-in. shell (save removed bread for another use).
Place bread bottom on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese; top with sausage mixture and remaining cheese. Replace bread top. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 6 servings.
