Something that is great about this stuffed bread is that you can switch up the type of sausages you use. I like ones stuffed with cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, my hubby likes spicy, and the kids mild. You could use really any variety.

The peppers are so sweet and tender. They add a great balance to the sausage and smoked provolone. The cheese is crucial. I do two layers, which adds to the layers of yumminess. Another thing to serve with this sandwich is marinara or alfredo sauce to dip it into. Oh…my…goodness. Delicious.

The hardest part about this meal is cooking the sausages, and that really isn’t that hard is it?

How do you make Stuffed Bread?

Cook sausages according to package directions. I cooked it over medium heat on each side until a nice golden brown, then I cut the sausages into 1/2 inch slices and then cooked them again over medium heat until cooked all the way through. Remove from pan and set aside.

Using the same pan, add peppers and onion and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for just a few minutes, 3-4 minutes. You do not want to overcook these! It will make the bread soggy.

Cut and remove the center of the loaf of bread. Place loaf of bread on a baking sheet and add 5 slices of provolone cheese to the bottom of the loaf. Top with sausages, onions, and peppers. Cover with foil, place in the oven and bake 20 minutes.

Remove foil from the bread. Top with the 5 remaining slices of provolone cheese. Set oven to a low broil and boil until the cheese has melted and starting to turn a light golden brown.

Slice & serve immediately. Great to serve with sauce if you desire. Enjoy!
