Ingredients

1/2 lb. Ground beef

1/2 lb. Bulk Italian pork sausage

1/4 cup Progresso® Plain Bread Crumbs

1 Small onion, chopped

1 Egg

1 (15-oz. ) can pizza sauce

2 cans (11 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crusty French loaf

4 oz. (1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

Preparation

1. Bake bread as directed on package. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, sausage, bread crumbs, onion and egg; mix well. Shape into 16 (1 1/2-inch) balls.

2. In medium skillet, cook meatballs over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned, turning frequently. Drain. Add pizza sauce. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly cooked.
