This quick dinner is a recipe given to me by my friend Willa more years ago than I care to remember. I hadn't thought of it for a long time. Last week I was reading a novel and one of the characters made a similar dish. It took a day and a half of searching cookbooks before I found the right 3x5 card but it was worth the effort. It's just as good as I remember. The times are a guess.
Ingredients:
1 loaf italian bread
1 -1 1/2 cup marinara sauce (dib's #10639 is outstanding)
1 cup sweet italian sausage links or 1 cup hot italian sausage
1 cup cooked ham, diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1 cup button mushroom, sliced
1 (7 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat the broiler.
2. Split the bread in half lengthwise.
3. Spread the Marinara Sauce evenly on the 2 halves of the bread.
4. Place the 2 halves on a baking sheet.
5. Brown the sausage.
6. Drain well.
7. Evenly scatter the Sausage, Ham, Mozzarella, and Cheddar on the 2 halves of bread.
8. Top with Olives, Mushrooms, and Pineapple chunks.
9. Broil 8-10 inches from the broiler 'til the cheeses are melted.
10. Cut into serving size pieces, eat as you would an open-faced sandwich.
11. Each person may top their serving with red pepper flakes if they wish.
