Ooey, Gooey, cheesy goodness – this Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread really hits the spot. An easy homemade pizza recipe the entire family will enjoy.

Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread

So late last year (2017), I gave birth to twins. Everything was as smooth sailing as smooth sailing goes (with twins that are your 4th and 5th children) until the reflux it. Let me tell you. I had 5 kids, two who suffered mild colic but this colic was the worst. Constant screaming. Weeks of it. It was in my research and talking to others, I discovered my son had a dairy allergy. With that came a 6 month strike of dairy – it was awful. No cheese, no milk, no butter – you try and find meals that have no dairy in them. Anyways, upon the graduation of breast feeding (I was really pumping), came all the cheese I could eat. All the GOOD cheese I could eat. That included this heavenly dinner recipe – Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread.

As a woman CRAVING cheese, this stuffed pizza recipe hit the spot. I mean really hit the spot. This dinner recipe is so delicious. You, and your family, will love it! I promise.

Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness – enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. Ground mild Italian sausage
• 1 ½ – 2 cups Pizza sauce
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
• ½ cups Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups Ricotta cheese
• 1 ½ tsp. Oregano
• 2 tsp. Basil
• 2 Cloves of garlic minced
• 1 Onion chopped
• 2 Loaves of French bread
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp. Coconut oil

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2.) Place 1 tablespoon of coconut oil into a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion to the skillet, and cook until the onion has browned, is soft, and translucent. Set the onion aside in a bowl and keep warm.

3.) Add 2 pounds of ground Italian sausage to the same skillet, and cook until browned, chopping up any large pieces with a cooking spoon.

4.) When the meat is just browned, add in a mix of 1 ½ teaspoons of Oregano and 2 teaspoons of Basil.

5.) Add in 2 cloves of minced garlic.

6.) Pour in 1 ½ to 2 cups of pizza sauce. Stir to combine all of the ingredients well, and add salt or pepper to taste.

7.) While the meat is browning, hollow out the insides of two loaves of French bread. Set the bread from the inside of the loaves aside to use in another dish as you see fit.

8.) Place one cup of ricotta cheese into each hollowed out loaf of bread, and smooth it out with the back of a spoon.

9.) Top each loaf of bread with half of the meat mixture.

10.) Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese to the top of each loaf of bread on top of the meat mixture.

11.) Sprinkle ¼ of a cup of Parmesan cheese on the very top of the loaves of bread.

12.) Place the bread into the oven on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes until the cheese on the top has browned and become bubbly.

13.) Serve with a garnish of herbs and a side of fresh salad greens.
