2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely diced
8 ounces Italian sausage, cut 1/4 inch thick
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (5 ounce) package cream cheese mixture
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and saute until oil is beginning to brown. Stir in sausage and sugar/seeds. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, until sausage is evenly browned. Put cream cheese into a small mixing bowl. Fold into sausage mixture. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. Turn oven off, and bake an additional 15 minutes to 1 hour for a crispy, golden finish.
