• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1/2 cup celery

• 2 t parsley
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 T minced green onions

• 2 (1-lb.) frozen bread dough, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Cook breakfast sausage and smoked sausage in frying pan until they start to brown; drain. Add ham, onion, bell pepper, celery, cajun seasoning and hot sauce. Sauté for 10 minutes. Add flour and continue to cook for 5 minutes, scraping bottom of pan with spoon. Add beef broth, oregano and parsley and cook for 10 minutes, until meat mixture is thick. Add cheese and green onions and cook for 5 minutes. Cool mixture in refrigerator.

Roll bread dough into rectangles about 4x8 inches. Divide filling into four parts; spread two strips of filling lengthwise onto each rolled out bread dough, leaving space between the two strips of filling. Fold about 1 inch of each bread rectangle toward the center. Then, roll the dough, using the long side, into a cylinder, like a cigar. Seal edges with dabs of water.

Bake for 40 minutes. Allow loaves to cool slightly before cutting into slices.
