Sausage & Cheese Bread

Warm, cheesy and packed with savory flavor is what this bread is all about!  It's just the thing to serve for veggie night or toasted for breakfast.  

We are big time soup lovers here and I am always on the lookout for a little something to serve on the side so, when I ran across my favorite recipe for cheese balls, it got me thinking...how about making this into a loaf.  There were just a few changes I needed to make to turn this into bread and happily, it worked.  I served nice, thick slices along side a bowl of cannelloni bean soup and we celebrated a happy Wednesday!
