Loaded Garlic Toast

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1Ib. mild or spicy ground sausage

• 1 jar marinara sauce

• ½ C. water

• 8 slices frozen cheesy garlic toast (Texas toast or generic)

• 1 C. mozzarella, shredded

Optional: Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425*F.

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper (for easy clean-up!) and add the slices of toast.

Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes- just enough to thaw and start crisping up the bread.

Meanwhile, crumble and cook your sausage over medium heat.

Once browned through add in the marinara sauce and water. I like to add the water to the marinara jar and shake it to get all the remaining sauce out of the jar.

Let simmer for a few minutes before removing from the heat and setting aside.

Remove the toast from the oven and using a big spoon, press into the toast to make space for the sauce.

Add ¼ C-1/2 C. of the meat mixture to cach slice of toast, top with cheese and bake for another 3-4 minutes.

Serve with a bagged salad and enjoy!
