By OmenTrance

Ingredients

• 1/2 package (14 meatballs) frozen JOHNSONVILLE® Classic Italian or Homestyle Meatballs, thawed and cut in half
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pasta sauce
• 1 can (4 ounces) mushrooms, drained
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 cans (11 ounces each) refrigerated French bread dough
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine the meatballs, cheese, pasta sauce, mushrooms, peppers, onion and garlic.

Unroll bread dough onto two greased cookie sheets. Press each into a 14-in. x 12-in. rectangle.

Spoon meatball mixture down the center of dough. Fold long sides of dough over filling, meeting in the center; press edges and ends to seal.

In a small bowl, lightly beat egg and water; brush over loaves.

Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes until golden brown. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes longer or until filling is hot.
