1 lb. ground round steak
1 lb. pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean)
1/2 c. Italian style bread crumbs
1 tbsp. parsley
1 tbsp. fresh minced garlic
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. olive oil (for the pan)

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Form 6 to 8 individual loaves. Brown in frying pan with the 2 tablespoons olive oil, 5 or 6 minutes each side. Set meat aside in a 3 quart casserole dish.

SAUCE:

In the same pan with the meat drippings: 1 med. onion, diced 1 green bell pepper, diced

Add: 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes 1 (30 oz.) can Joan of Arc kidney beans, drained 2 jars Green Giant mushrooms 3 tbsp. brown sugar 1/4 c. Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp. each oregano, basil, parsley 1 tsp. salt

Simmer all ingredients for 25 to 30 minutes. Add meat to the sauce and simmer another 10 minutes. After simmering, place meat back into the casserole dish and cover the meat with the sauce and beans.

TOP: Using a full uncut sheet of Pillsbury crescent dough, cover the entire top of the casserole.

Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Optional: Cheese may be added to the top of the crust while it is still warm before serving.
