Manday Cake

Tools
9" spring form pan
plastic wrap
wire racks
Lipitor

Ingredients
16 oz of Pizza Sauce
Three 6 oz jar tomato paste
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon Garlic Garlic dip mix for sauce
2 teaspoon Oregano, one for sauce
1 teaspoon Sweet Basil
1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
cup Parmesan cheese
1.5 Green Bell Pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
Mushrooms, pieces & stems, canned, 12 oz drained
12 oz. Black Olives, sliced
pepperoni slices, precooked
1/4 pound of bacon, chopped and cooked or smoked at 250 using our 100% Hickory
1- 1-1/2 pounds Shredded three cheese blend
1 can of Canned Cheese "Kraft Easy Cheese Spread"

Directions
Prepare the sauce using 16 oz of sauce, 2 cans of paste and 1/4 cup of Parmesan, Garlic and oregano, cook on low and thicken, take one third and use for the filling, place in the refrigerator.

The Bacon and Pepperoni are chopped, cooked and set aside.

Veggies are sauted to soften, then the garlic, olives, mushrooms and oregano is added to simmer off most of the liquid, then the bacon, pepperoni and sauce is added working in the sauce. Cook on low another 10 minutes or so, refrigerate overnight or at least til cold.
2-4 pounds of your favorite sausage. The sausage is placed in a spring-form pan lined with plastic wrap untill in is about 1/2” thick on bottom and sides. Another chunk is rolled out on plastic wrap big enough to cover pan.

The filing is removed from the refrigerator and is tossed in a bowl with the three cheese blend and the 2/3rds sauce is added and tossed in as well. A little extra cheese is placed on the bottom. The filling is then packed tightly into the cake.
Make sure to leave some exposed sausage where the top piece will fit, this will insure a better seal and reduce the chance of coming apart at the seam. The top is then placed on the cake. The seams are sealed by pinching and tucking.

The cake is placed in the freezer for a few hours.

The Cake is removed from the freezer, the plastic wrap is removed and the cake is placed top side down on a wire rack. The spring-form pan is then removed and another wire rack is placed on top (which will be the bottom once flipped) of the cake and flipped again... The seam needs to be on the top.

The cake is placed on the the grill, using our Perfect Mix. I use a rattail thermometer to watch temp. I set the grill at 250 and get ready for the PARTY!

As soon as it hits 175 internal its done!!!!

Pull and let rest about 30-45 minutes. Top with a little pizza sauce and Cheese spread a message like “HAPPY MEATDAY!!

Grab a drink and a slice and sitback and enjoy!!
