For a lot of you who know me, you know that I love to cook. I love reading cooking magazines, watching cooking shows, and making unique and sometimes elaborate dishes. I have learned however, that this is a talent wasted on my husband. Once, when we were first married, I was inspired by an Emeril show! Of course, I didn't have kids then. I made a gourmet dinner, and stacked it on the plate in a beautiful presentation just like Emeril. When we sat down to eat, my husband asked if he could put BARBEQUE SAUCE ON IT. I thought I was going to croak! To me, this is like asking a girl if you can put a paper bag over her head before you kiss her!!! What an insult! Barbeque Sauce? It's like saying, "I don't think I am going to like this, so I am going to drown it in a sauce that I could eat anything with." For Todd, that is Barbeque. Soon after that, in a hurry one night I made sloppy joes from a can. My husband LOVED THEM! barf...I thought I was going to die. He even asked me where I got the recipe! Are you kidding me? Dude! This stuff came from a can! I broke out in a rash just putting it together! But I learned, that, for him, simplicity is best...Below is such a recipe. Stromboli. He loves it, my kids love it and it is kind of good, even if I don't labor over it all day. Tate and I made it together last night and prep time was 10 minutes start to finish! I have tried to reduce the steps to as few as possible. I am pretty sure your family will like it too. :) Enjoy!
STROMBOLI
Roll out 1 can of Pilsbury Thin Crust Pizza dough on a floured surface.
Mix (I use EggBeaters) 1 egg with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt, 1/2 tsp oregano and/or basil, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the dough and spread all over...like a sauce.
Place on top a layer of each all over the dough, TURKEY PEPPERONI, CANADIAN BACON AND SAUSAGE CRUMBLES (I found Jimmy Dean precooked Turkey Sausage Crumbles. They worked great and cut the prep time significantly!)
Top with 1 cup of (I use 2% cheese to make it healthier) Kraft Shredded CoJack cheese.
Starting with the long side carefully roll it up, tucking the dough under as you go, and place it on a baking sheet. Be very gentle. It will look like a long log. Bake at 350 until golden brown and done. 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy!
If the egg mixture isn't enough, you may want to do 2. I use a little over 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters, so 2 eggs may be closer. :)
