Italian Meat Bars image

Spicy and flavorful italian meats in a soft, chewy and rich pastry crust. A favorite in our house and often requested for pot-luck gatherings, especially around the holidays! I got this recipe from a coworker years ago who just gave me general directions, and have spent a few years refining it.

Time 50m

Yield 24 bars, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
2 eggs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese
3/4 lb provolone cheese
1/4 lb pepperoni
1/4 lb salami
1/4 lb capicola
1/4 lb mortadella
1/4 lb prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Spread 1 roll of crescent rolls over bottom of the greased 13 x 9 pan in a sheet, spreading slightly if necessary.
  • Layer half of provolone cheese, overlapping.
  • Create 1 layer of each italian meat, slightly overlapping, in the order of your choosing.
  • layer the rest of the provolone over the italian meats.
  • Unroll the other can of crescent rolls over the top, spreading slightly if necessary. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover everything, they'll puff during baking.
  • whisk together eggs and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush ENTIRE MIXTURE over the top. You can pour it into the edges and corners if you like as well.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool and cut into bars, or along the triangles of the crescent dough for sandwiches.
  • The meats in the recipe list are merely suggestions. I use whatever happens to be on sale when I go to the grocery store, but always use at least pepperoni, salami and capicola.
  • Amount of meat can be adjusted based on personal preference.
  • Instead of bars, you can also cut along the triangles from the crescent rolls and make 8 sandwiches instead.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of meatballs. But I'm so glad I did! These meatballs were amazing. They were so flavorful and juicy, and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were just okay. They weren't as flavorful as I was hoping, and the texture was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
