Pizza night just got a garlic bread upgrade. Crispy, buttery garlic bread gets loaded with pizza sauce, melty mozzarella, savory Italian Sausage and all your favorite veggies for an easy dinner that’s part pizza, part garlic bread and 100% worth making.

Ingredients

½ (16 ounce) package Johnsonville Fresh Ground Italian Sausage, any variety
1 loaf frozen garlic bread, split in half
½ cup pizza sauce
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup chopped vegetables, such as onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Place the garlic bread halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread.
Remove from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over each garlic bread half.
Top with mozzarella cheese, vegetables, and small pinches of raw sausage (about 1 teaspoon each), spacing the sausage evenly across the bread.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the sausage reaches 160°F, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the garlic bread is heated through. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing and serving.
