3 Ingredient Weeknight Dinner: Mozzarella Stuffed Sausages

Pregnancy has been doing some interesting things to our weeknight dinner routine. For one, I’m super picky and I’ve never, ever been a picky eater. There are things I’ll have on repeat, to hubby’s chagrin, every single week, multiple times per week. PLUS most days I have 0 energy to actually make a nice dinner for us, so quick and easy really hits the spot.

These mozzarella stuffed sausages have been on REPEAT in our house, at least twice a week. It’s so easy, you need 3 ingredients!

Any sausage will do – I’ve done hot Italian, sweet Italian, turkey sausage, etc. You just slice them open and then shove a bunch of shredded mozz in there OR you can stick a cheese stick in there. Shredded mozz is a little more melty, but the string cheese is faster, easier and cleaner.

Then, pour over your favorite tomato sauce, pop in a 400 degree oven for ~45 minutes or until the sausages reach an internal temp of 165. Sprinkle a little parm on top, and serve with salad, or pasta or even garlic bread!

Easy, right?
