A recipe post

Due to finals, papers, work and school winding down, my posting has been very irregular. But that will all change after Tuesday, when I'm finally done with the semester.

For now, enjoy this recipe post. It's for a sausage bread, a family favorite in my house. I have no idea who was the first to make it, or where the recipe came from, but whenever I make it, William has seconds and requests leftovers. It's a simple recipe, and takes about 30 minutes to cook.

Italian Sausage Bread:

Ingredients:
- Six links of sweet/hot Italian sausage (whatever you desire)
- 3 larger green bell peppers
- 1 large onion
- 1 pizza dough (you can use frozen, make your own, or buy a dough from a pizzeria like I did)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Italian seasoning
- shredded mozzarella

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 Cut the sausage links into little chunks. On high heat, cook the sausage in a pan with olive oil. You can add salt and pepper as you desire.

 Cut the peppers and onions however you like (cube, dice, strips, etc) and add them to a separate pan. Cook on high heat with olive oil, salt/pepper as your desire and about 1 tbs. of Italian seasoning.

 Have your hot boyfriend man these ingredients at the stove. Or you can man (or woman) them yourself, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

 Roll out your dough into a circle. It doesn't have to be perfect, just circular. I don't see why it can't be rectangular either, so you can shape it however you want. Once your dough is rolled out, place it on a greased cooking sheet.

 Once the sausage is cooked (I usually check it to make sure, but it's okay if it's not cooked all the way because it will cook a bit more in the oven), drain the meat from the oil and place it on the dough.

 Add the peppers on top of the meat once they're done cooking.

 Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top of the sausage and peppers. You can add as much/little as you'd like.

 Wrap it all up. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The time may vary depending on your oven, but I take it out once the bottom of the bread is golden brown.

 Cut it into pieces and enjoy! (Behold the ooey gooey goodness of this meal above).

A fast and easy meal to feed the family. This bread serves about 6-8 people, depending on how big of a slice everyone wants. It's a flexible dish that you can change up to however you like!
