Easy Stromboli from Pillsbury.com!
1/2 lb lean ground beef ***note, I don't like "green things" in my sauce, so I made 2 different stromboli's, one with the husband's sauce, one with mine, so I had to double everything in the recipe to make 2***
1 13.8 oz can refrigerated classic pizza crust by Pillsbury
1/4 cup pizza sauce or more if you like more
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped veggies - I used red and green peppers, and alittle more than 1/4 cup
1/4 teaspoon dried italian seasoning or oregano (none in mine please!)
crushed red pepper, as much as you'd like, of course
Heat oven to 400. Spray cookie sheet with Pam. Brown ground beef in a pan over medium high heat until cooked thru. Drain this and set aside.
Unroll dough and place on the cookie sheet. Starting at the center, press out the dough to form a rectangle.
Spread sauce over the dough, going to within 2 inches on the long sides and about a 1/2 inch on the short sides. Place cooked ground beef lengthwise over the sauce, about 3 inches wide.
Top with cheese, veggies, and any seasoning you would like to use.
Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling and press the end edges and long sides until sealed.
Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown - my oven baked each one in 15 minutes to our liking.
It's pretty much a calzone with hamburg = I'm sold!
The same night, I also tested a recipe I'm going to use for our upcoming holiday party - Tomato-basil appetizers. They are quick and easy, but too much bread, so I think for the party, to make them more bite size, I'm going to use crackers instead of rolls.
The original recipe called for:
2 Pillsbury Grands Frozen Flaky Layers Biscuits (from a 22.1 oz bag)
2 tbsp herb or garden flavored cream cheese spread and/or fresh mozzarella balls cut into thin slices
1/4 cup diced tomato
chopped basil leaves
Heat oven to 350 and spray the cookie sheet with Pam. Place the desired # of biscuits on a microwavable plate and microwave at 50% power for 25-30 seconds. Slice each biscuit horizontally, carefully separating into 2 layers.
Place biscuit halves cut side down on the cook sheet and bake 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown **for my oven, it was about 9 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.
Spread cream cheese or place mozzarella slices on top of the biscuits, then top with tomato and basil.
They were yummy, but again too big to be bite-sized at a party. I could slice the biscuits into 4 rather than 2 slices, but I'd like to keep my fingers = I'll be using crackers and I'm sure they'll be just as yummy:)
Enjoy these recipes and come back for more tomorrow!! :) Oh, and I only have, I think, 7 Christmas cards left to make and all the made ones are addressed and ready to go - go me!!
