Pizza in a Loaf

This recipe is awesome! A great twist on pizza. If you love pizza (honestly...who doesn't....) you will love this. It's baked in a loaf and served with pizza sauce to dip it in...yummy!

Ingredients: 16oz. of ground italian sausage
                  1  green pepper
                   1 onion
                  1 tsp. minced garlic
                  1 french bread dough (in the refrigerated section)
                  crushed red pepper
                  chilli powder
                  1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
                  2 T. butter, softened
                  1 tsp. garlic powder
                 Pizza sauce for dipping

        Directions:  Brown sausage. Then add onion, green pepper, and minced garlic until soft.
                       Preheat oven to 350. Grease a baking sheet.
                    Flour a surface and roll out dough into about a 12x8 rectangle. Sprinkle it with a little bit of chilli powder and crushed red pepper. Then, spoon the meat mixture onto the dough. *Layer it across the longest side of dough, and only take up about 1/3 of the space on the dough. Pile it "up" so you have room to roll it up. Then, layer the cheese next to the meat. Leave a little bit of room on each end so you can seal it.
     Roll it up starting with the meat side. Gently roll it into a tube shape, then seal the ends and place seam down on the greased sheet. Fold the ends under slightly to seal.
   Bake 25 minutes. Add garlic powder and butter and brush over top and return to oven for 5 more minutes. Serve it with pizza sauce.
