INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf French bread
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 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.) 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. In a small saucepan, melt butter; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Brush over tops and sides of loaf. Seal the foil. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
