Rita's Sausage Bread

This is a favorite at our church coffee hours and a frequent family request

1 package of pizza dough in the can that you smash on the counter to open.
1/2 pound of bulk italian sausage sauteed and broken into small pieces
1 cup of mozerella cheese shredded
sprinkle of oregano or basil (your choice)
jared spaghetti sauce for dipping
Cooking spray

Heat your oven to 350
spray cooking spray on a cookie sheet (I use one with sides)
Spread out pizza dough on pan making sure all cracks are sealed
sprinkle on cooked sausage, sprinkle over mozerella cheese and seasoning
Roll the dough into a log stretching it into a "u". Make sure the seam side is down.
Optional (brush with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese)

Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust looks browned.
Remove from oven, cut into 1/2 slices and dip in warmed spaghetti sauce
Yum Yum

Crab and Fish Artichoke Dip

2/3 c. mayo (I use the regular)
2/3 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 package cream cheese
1/2 cup lump crab meat
1/2 cup cooked white type fish (use your favorite and break into small pieces)
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
pepper to taste

Mix the mayo and cream cheese together, breaking up the big pieces of cream cheese. Add the cheddar cheese and chopped artichoke hearts, Old Bay seasoning and the pepper. Stir in the fish and crab. Bake at 30 for 30 minutes or so until it is all heated through and bubbly. Serve with whole wheat type crackers. Yummy!
