This is one of those recipes where I don't read directions or follow measurements but here is my best guess:

Brown 1lb of hamburger, add seasoning salt
Add 1 can of spaghettti sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and cottage cheese, mix together and heat through,
Cut off the tops of hard rolls and scoop out the middle. Fill rolls with filling and replace top. Cover with tin foil and bake 350 for 20 minutes or until roll is starting to get crunchy and filling is warm.

1 FAMILY:
1 loaf Rhodes bread dough
1 cube butter or margarine
1 envelope hidden valley ranch mix ( not generic):

3/4 lb. thinly sliced ham
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp poppy seeds

6 FAMILIES

6 loaves Rhodes bread dough
6 cubes butter or margarine
6 envelopes hidden valley ranch mix (not generic)
4 1/2 lbs. thinly sliced ham
9 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 tsp. poppy seeds

TO PREPARE BEFORE FREEZING:
Roll bread dough out into a rectangular shape so its approx. 1/2 inch
thick. Combine margarine and ranch mix. Spread about 5 TBS of mixture on the rectangle. Layer ham and cheese down the center of the rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to cut strips along each side of the dough (even numbers on each side). Starting at the bottom, take each piece, cross and twist. Continue cris-crossing until your pizza is braided. Brush remaining butter/ranch mixture over top. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Wrap loaf with plastic wrap and then foil. To prepare after freezing: To thaw over night. Place in fridge as is if you wish to cook it on the foil. If you do not wish to cook it on the foil unwrap it and place on lightly greased baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap. Let thaw overnight. A couple of hours before you are ready to bake place it on the counter to continue to thaw and begin to rise. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
