Number Of Ingredients 13

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup milk
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1-1/4 pounds bulk Italian sausage
3/4 pound ground beef
2 jars (26 ounces each) spaghetti sauce
1 loaf (1 pound) unsliced French bread, halved lengthwise
8 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, salt and Italian seasoning. Crumble sausage and beef over mixture; mix well.
