Sausage Bread Sandwiches

I make these sandwiches in my spare time and freeze them so they’re ready when needed, such as for tailgating parties when we attend Kansas State football games.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (16 ounces) hot roll mix
  • 2 pounds reduced-fat bulk pork sausage
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare roll mix dough according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in seasonings.
  • Divide dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each into a 14x8-in. rectangle. Top each with 1-1/4 cups sausage mixture to within 1 inch of edges; sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams and ends to seal.
  • Transfer to greased baking sheets, seam side down. In a small bowl, whisk egg with water; brush over loaves. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Cool 5 minutes before slicing.
