Canadian Bacon and Sausage Stuffed French Bread

This recipe comes from when my mom worked at a frozen dinner place that shall not be named.  It is a staple in my house.  The best part is that you can make it, wrap it in foil and freeze so it's ready whenever.  Best freezer meal ever!

• 1 loaf of French Bread
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter or spread, softened
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) of low-fat cream cheese
• 1 Tbsp onion flakes
• 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
• 4 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese, cut into 8 triangles
• 8 pieces Canadian bacon or deli ham
• 1 – 1½ cup pre-cooked sausage crumbles

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Place a 3 foot long piece of aluminum foil on the counter.
3. Cut the loaf of French bread length-wise, horizontally so you have a top half and bottom half.
4. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, onion flakes, and poppy seeds until smooth.
5. Spread the mixture on the top and bottom halves of the bread. There might be extra.
6.  Put the sausage crumbles on the bottom and press into the spread.
7. Layer the Canadian bacon/ham, then cheese.
8. Put the top of the bread on and wrap in foil.
9. Freeze (if desired) or bake 20 minutes covered and then 10 minutes uncovered.
