Cheesy Sausage Loaf
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 35 min.
YIELD: 1 loaf (16 slices).
My bread machine is such a time-saver, particularly where this savory entree is concerned. Stuffed with pork sausage and cheese, it's a favorite with my teenage granddaughters. They even take the left-overs for lunch.
