This is AMAZING & SIMPLE!!

 

Ingredients:

1 loaf (store brand) frozen bread (thawed to ROOM TEMP)

1 cup THICK spaghetti sauce (plus more for topping, if you wish. (not included in calories)

8 ounces of Mozzarella cheese, diced into cubes

6 ounces spaghetti, cooked, drained and rinsed. (we used white pasta)

1/2 pound 85/15 cooked and drained hamburger meat (pan fried)

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (the kind you put on pizza or spaghetti)

1 egg white

spices - garlic powder and parsley flakes

 

Directions:

Set loaf of bread dough out to thaw to room temperature. 

 

In the mean time, Cook pasta according to directions, drain and rinse in cool water.  Allow to drain very well.  Set aside.  Brown and cook burger until no longer pink.  Drain very well.  Mix together pasta, burger and spaghetti sauce.  Set aside.

 

Dice block mozzarella cheese and set aside.

 

Once bread dough is thawed and room temperature, roll out to about 12 X 16 rectangle.   Lay your mixed spaghetti Down the center of the rectangle (lengthwise) and then place the cheese on top.  You will cut "strips" along the sides of the dough.  (see picture below for visual)

 

 

Take one end and lay it on top of your spaghetti.  Do the same with the other end.  This will "close" both ends of your spaghetti bread loaf.  With the strips, pull one side, then the other over the bread to form a "braid" and continue until you are finished with all the strips.

 

 

Brush the top and sides of the bread loaf with egg white.  Then sprinkle garlic powder, and parsley and the 2 T. Parmesan cheese on top!  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until brown on top!

 

Allow to sit for 10 minutes and slice with a bread knife.  Serve as it, with a salad, or serve with spaghetti sauce on top!  MmMmMmMmMm!

 

I hope you enjoy it!
