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 turkey or beef |
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1 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. Yield: 6-8 servings.
