As a mother of two, it seems the only time I have in my day for creativity is in the kitchen. I received a similar recipe from a co-worker but decided to add veggies and spices to give it my own spin. -Denise Tutton, Ridgway, PA

MEAT LOVERS STROMBOLI

Meat Lovers Stromboli image

I created this recipe for my sweet husband. His favorite thing to order from a local pizzeria is their family sized stromboli. This is our version. This recipe makes two large strombolis and could feasibly serve four people, or one hungry husband for two days. You could make the pizza dough, but I buy it pre-made for convencience sake.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 (13 7/8 ounce) cans refrigerated pizza crusts
8 ounces of sliced pepperoni, divided
16 ounces bulk hot sausage, cooked and drained (recommend Jimmy Dean)
3 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, and provolone shredded cheese mix divided
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, divided
garlic powder

olive oil, for brushing

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle a little flour on your work surface.
Roll pizza dough into a 10x14 inch rectangle. Be careful not to roll too thin.
Cover the rectangle with layers of the toppings - pepperoni, sausage, cheese blend, parmesan cheese, italian herb seasoning to taste, pizza seasoning to taste, garlic powder to taste, red pepper flakes to taste. Be sure to leave a 1 inch border around all the sides.
Starting at the end closest to you, roll the stromboli into a log (my husband says the pizza place does it like a jelly roll).
Seal the dough by pinching firmly with fingertips on sides and ends.
Cover baking sheet with foil, brushed lightly with olive oil.
Place stromboli on prepared baking sheet. Make sure seam of stromboli is on the bottom.
Use a pastry brush to apply olive oil to top of strombolis.
Place on center rack of oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Carefully remove from oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, good quality cheese, and flavorful meats.
Don't overstuff the stromboli. Too much filling will make it difficult to fold and bake.
Be careful not to over-bake the stromboli. It should be cooked until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from spilling out.
Serve the stromboli with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try pesto, Alfredo sauce, or even barbecue sauce.

The meat lovers' Italian stromboli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, flavorful filling, and endless variations, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
