Putting the dinner together

Place a 1 (3) foot-long piece(s) of aluminum foil on a clean workspace and place the bottom half (halves) of the loaf (loaves) on it. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the spread, cream cheese, onion(s), parsley, and poppy seeds with a handheld electric mixer. Blend the sausage into the cream cheese mixture. Spread the mixture evenly on the bread halves. Layer the Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the loaf and top with the Swiss cheese slices, dividing the bacon and cheese equally among the three loaves if you are preparing a triple batch. Place the top half of the bread over the toppings and wrap tightly in foil.

For dinner tonight

Preheat the oven to 400°F or heat a grill to medium heat. Bake the bread in the aluminum foil for 15 minutes. Unwrap and slice into 2-inch slices.

To freeze

Label, date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before cooking as directed above.

Parmesan-Crusted Fish Fillets

You can use a variety of white flaky fish for this recipe. Take care not to overcook the fish, as it can get tough and chewy when the natural oils are baked out. Tilapia is one of our favorite fishes for this dish, since it freezes particularly well and children like it.
