"Dinner...or lunch...or breakfast. My favorite recipe from The Working Wives’ Cookbook by Theodora Zavin and Freda Stuart. c. 1963. Times have changed, but most of us working women (wives or not) are still cooking, at least occasionally."

ingredients

³⁄₄ lb sausage meat
¹⁄₄ lb ground round
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon marjoram
¹⁄₂ cup water
1 egg
2 brown and serve French rolls
2 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, crushed

directions

The night before: Sauté chopped onion in 2 Tb butter. Add sausage and cook gently for 5-10 minutes, mashing it with a fork as it cooks. Add ground round and cook until browned. Cut the ends from the French Rolls. Gently hollow out the Rolls, leaving the thinnest possible shell; break the bread into soft crumbs and add it to the meat mixture along with the egg, salt, marjoram, mustard and water. At this point, the meat can be covered and refrigerated overnight; wrap and refrigerate the bread shells.
Before serving: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. While oven is heating, melt additional 2 Tb butter in sauce pan and simmer with the crushed garlic clove for a couple of minutes.
Reheat the meat mixture slightly, and stuff the bread shells with it. Brush the Rolls with garlic butter and bake for 10-12 minutes. Slice and serve.

I live in Florida, where I work in a doctor's office and spend any available free time on hobbies that do not include cooking. Since the kids grew up and left home, I'm enjoying not having to produce a dinner every day, and my husband has (reluctantly) learned how to make himself a meal. I still love to read cookbooks and cooking-related magazines, though, and thought I'd join recipezaar as a way to organize all the recipes my kids call to ask for.
