1 lb. hot or sweet Italian sausage links
Olive oil
2 med. onions, thinly sliced
1 sm. bunch broccoli, cut into 2 x 1 inch pieces
1/2 lb. mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 16 inch long loaf Italian bread
1 (14 oz.) jar pizza sauce
1 (8 oz.) pkg. shredded Mozzarella cheese

About 1 hour before serving: In 10 inch skillet over medium heat, heat sausages and 1/4 cup water to boiling. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove cover; continue cooking, turning sausage frequently until water evaporated and sausage well browned, about 20 minutes. Remove sausage to paper towel, drain; cut into long diagonal slices.

Preheat broiler if manufacturers directs. In drippings in skillet and 2 tablespoons olive oil, over medium high heat, cook onions and broccoli, stirring frequently, 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, cook 5 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender crisp.

Slice Italian bread horizontally in 1/2. Spread pizza sauce on bottom 1/2 of bread; top with 1/2 of cheese. Place cheese topped bread on cookie sheet; broil until cheese melts, 1 minute. Arrange vegetables and sausages on melted cheese; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place top 1/2 cut side up, on same cookie sheet; broil until cheese melts and top 1/2 of bread is lightly toasted. 6 servings.
