Sausage-Stuffed French Loaf

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min. YIELD: 6-8 servings.
When my family first tried this sandwich loaf, they suggested I include it as part of our annual New Year's Day celebration. It tastes great with homemade soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

  • 1. Cut a thin slice off the top of the bread. Hollow out bottom half, leaving a 1/4-in. shell. In a food processor or blender, process bread crumbs until coarse; set aside 1 cup. (Discard remaining crumbs or save for another use.)
  • 2. In a skillet, brown beef, sausage and onion; drain. Stir in reserved crumbs, cheese, egg, parsley, mustard, pepper, salt and fennel; mix well. Spoon into bread shell; replace bred top. Place on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, melt butter; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Brush over tops and sides of loaf. Seal the foil.
  • 4. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
