stromboli

Well...hello beautiful.

If you are looking for a fast, easy, hearty, and family-friendly recipe, this is it.  I've always loved stromboli because it is so easy to make and so easy to adapt to my family's tastes.  It's so easy that this recipe was chosen to appear in Gooseberry Patch's Speedy Suppers cookbook.  I love it...I think you'll love it, too.

Stromboli

• 1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed (or pizza crust recipe)
• cheese, meat, and/or vegetable fillings of your choice
• 1 jar spaghetti sauce

On lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a large rectangle.  Place fillings down the middle of the dough.  Fold in the short ends, then fold the longer ends over the filling.  Pinch to seal.  Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.  Slice and top with spaghetti sauce.  Serves 6-8.

For a lighter meal, choose reduced fat cheeses and meats like ground turkey or turkey pepperoni..or omit the meat altogether!  This can easily be made into a vegetarian meal.
