Johnsonville® Easy Stuffed French Bread

4.8 of 5 Average (18 reviews)
Usually a light appetizer, Johnsonville has transformed everyday French bread into a hefty sandwich heavyweight that’ll please the toughest critics. Mushrooms, peppers, garlic, onion and mozzarella cheese combine with your favorite Johnsonville Meatballs to make a filling that provides an excellent counterbalance to the texture and flavor of the bread.
