Stromboli Recipe

Here's a recipe I came up with that is a favorite at our house. I hope you like it too!



Courtney Simple Stromboli

-10 ounce(s) (1 tube) refrigerated pizza-crust
-2 cups (1 bag) shredded pizza cheese or mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce
Filling:
- Pepperoni, ground beef, sausage, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc (clean out the fridge)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
Grease a baking sheet and spread the pizza dough to the edges of a baking sheet (14x18)
Spread a layer of pizza sauce (not to thick, not to thin) about 2 inches from the outside long edges, and about an inch away from the short edges. Now layer your fillings and then top with cheese.
Fold each long edge into the center, overlapping slightly. Pinch the seam together down the middle of the Stromboli. Pinch the short ends shut.
Pop it in the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, depending on the amount of filling you have.
Serve with a small salad and marvel at how simple and tasty!

Cheddar Chicken = Yummy!

A Little Treat :)

Some wonderful friends gave Matt and I a gift certificate to William-Sonoma for our house warming party (Thanks Dixie and Chris), and I finally was able to use it! :)

Guess what I got? These cute little pocket pie makers.

They were on sale if you buy 2 :) There is a third that I would like to have, an apple. I still have a balance on the gift card, might have to go back for that cutie pie apple ;)

Here are a few pictures from various websites that have used the pie molds (I hope to use mine this week sometime).

The Chicken Tetrazinni recipe I mentioned yesterday is so good...

I mean, put on your stretchy pants and eat until you just can't anymore good...

So good I forgot to take pictures of the finished project... sorry I was to overwhelmed with yumminess...

Here's what it looked like before it went into the oven

Actually, I should double this picture because this fantastic recipes makes 2 pans! Yes, one to eat and one to freeze! I wrapped it as best I could (thanks wiki for telling me the best way to wrap it) and put it in the freezer... Hope it tastes as good out of the freezer in a few weeks!
