Cheese Bread/Meat Marinara Sauce/Pics

[Roxy15]

Cheese Bread:

For Fairy Dust:

In A Bowl, Mix:

1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

2 T. Garlic Powder

1 T. Oregano

1 T. Onion Salt

Put Fairy Dust in a shaker.

Slice French Bread into slices.

Butter both sides of bread with garlic butter and put on a cookie sheet.

***I just put softened butter from a tub in a bowl and mixed in some garlic powder.

Sprinkle the top of each slice of French Bread with Fresh Mozzarella, Shredded.

Using the shaker that you put the Fairy Dust in, sprinkle the top of each bread slice with the Fairy Dust.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bake cheese bread until the cheese is melted on top.

I baked it for 10 minutes or so; we like the cheese to be a little brown on top.

This bread is better than you get at Pizza Hut!

Meat Marinara Sauce:

****This recipe comes from a good friend of mine and she is an excellent cook. I cooked 2 lbs. of hamburger, drained it/cooked a pkg. of Hot Italian Sausage, sliced them and added it to the sauce, it made it spicy so use milder flavor if you don't like heat! I added a little more garlic and onion, so if you make this, just use the amount that you want. I made some fettuccini and served the sauce over it with cheese bread. I will never buy pasta sauce again. I probably will make the sauce in the crockpot next time, just to make it easier.

This sauce is great for pizza, manicotti, or any kind of pasta dish. It can also be used as a pizza sauce. If using as a pizza sauce, prepare as directed, but add to the recipe 1 Tsp. of Italian Seasoning.

***I DOUBLED THE MARINARA SAUCE RECIPE LISTED BELOW!!

Marinara Sauce:

2 T. Olive Oil

2 Garlic Cloves, Pressed

***I Used More/Minced It In Food Processor

1 Onion, Tennis Ball Sized, Chopped Fine

***I Used More, Chopped In Food Processor

1-(28-oz.)-Can Crushed Tomatoes

1-(5.5-oz.)-Can Tomato Paste

1-(14-oz.)-Can Tomato Sauce

1 T. Sugar

2 Tsp. Sweet Basil

**I Just Used Basil

1/2 Tsp. Salt

***I Used Less

1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper

***Used A Little More

1 Pkg. Sliced Fresh Mushrooms

Green Peppers, Cut Up-(To Taste)

In a 2 qt. saucepan over medium heat in oil, cook garlic and onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn or the sauce will be bitter!

***I used a large stockpot to put the onion/garlic mixture in with the rest of the ingredients since I doubled the recipe.

Stir in crushed tomatoes, their liquid, and remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low; cover; cook 20-30 minutes or until thickened; stirring occasionally. Be careful not to burn! I cooked it for a longer period of time on low heat, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to break up the meatballs!

I served it over fettuccini with cheese bread. Add more Parmesan Cheese and hot pepper flakes if you want. The hot Italian Sausage does make it hot.

***This recipe can be doubled!

***This sauce is great for any kind of pasta dish. It can also be used as a pizza sauce. If using as a pizza sauce, add to the recipe, 1 Tsp. Italian Seasoning!

heres a keeper!! a great sauce! have you ever froze ths and reheated later??

[Roxy15]

No, I haven't, but, I don't see why you couldn't freeze it and warm it up when you need to. I will only use this sauce from now on, I won't buy pasta sauce again.
