Venison Pepper and Onion Loaf

Venison Pepper and Onion Loaf is a delicious Italian loaf, soaked with homemade garlic butter, loaded with venison sausage, Italian seasoned sauteed bell peppers, and onions and then a bubbly layer of cheese. Who wants some?

Venison Pepper and Onion Loaf is ready to devour in 20 minutes or less. You’ll have a delicious, better than any takeout meal that the whole family will love. This is another anytime meal–it’s good for breakfast or dinner.

When I make Venison Pepper and Onion Loaf I always have to double the batch and leave the peppers and onions off one of them for my son, Chase. I just leave it off and top the cheese with crushed red peppers. It’s so good, but I personally like it with bell peppers and onions better. You can also use ground venison burger or slices of venison steak. Get creative!

Venison Pepper and Onion Loaf

Prep Time: 5 minutes	Yield: 2 Loaves cut into 8 Pieces (4 Pieces Each)
Cook Time: 15 minutes	Serving Size: 1 Piece
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 Marketside Italian Loaf Bread 16 oz. (from Walmart)
1 lb venison sausage
4 tsp. olive oil (for frying)
1/2 large onion
1-2 bell peppers (I like to use different colors)
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. basil
2 cups Mozzarella cheese
6 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. minced garlic
dash of salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions

Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Once heated, add the venison sausage and fry until it’s lightly browned. Remove from the heat and drain any excess oil/liquids.
While the sausage is frying, thinly slice the bell peppers and onions. Add 1 tsp. of olive oil to a skillet and sauté until tender. Add the basil and oregano and lightly toss. Remove from heat and set aside for later.
Put 6 Tbsp. of butter and 1 tsp. of minced garlic in a small bowl and heat in the microwave just until it’s melted–maybe 30 seconds. Add a dash of salt and black pepper. Split the bread down the middle and remove about 1/2″ of the bread from the center of each half.
With a basting brush, put half of the butter and garlic mixture on each loaf half, making sure to coat the edges well.
Divide the sausage and put half on each piece. Then add half of the onions and peppers and top with 1 cup of cheese each.
Bake in a 375 F oven just long enough to melt the cheese, which is about 4-5 minutes. Place on a cooling rack or cutting board and cut each loaf half into four equal parts and devour!
