Remove casing from Italian sausage; crumble into a large skillet. Add hot sausage, onion, and green pepper; cook until meat is browned. Drain well on paper towels. Return meat mixture to skillet, and add oregano, fennel seeds, and garlic powder; heat gently over low heat. Stir in cheeses; cook until melted, and remove from heat. Spread a scant tablespoon of meat mixture on each bread slice. Place slices in a single layer on large baking sheets; freeze. When slices are frozen, place in plastic bags and keep frozen until slices are needed. To serve, thaw and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Yields about 11 dozen.
