Stromboli???

A new recipe once more from the Pillsbury website and once more tweaked!!!
This to me is more like a Pizza pocket than the traditional Stomboli I knew and LOVED as a kid….but it was YUM-O!!! I loved it and so did the husband and kid…even with the YUCK green peppers as the little one would say!


Recipe:

1 package of refrigerated Pizza Crust
½ Pound of Ground beef
½ Yellow Onion
1 Green/ and or Red Bell Pepper
1 small can Pizza Sauce
1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
1 ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella

I used the pizza sauce in the squeeze bottle because you will not use all of the sauce and it is easer to store. I added the onion and a small can of mushrooms (cuz I love them!) throw in your favorite pizza toppings!

Preheat oven to 400, brown your ground beef, add your onion (chopped) to browned ground beef continue to cook until onion is almost translucent and set aside. Grease a cookie sheet and place refrigerated Pizza dough on cookie sheet, you will need to do this step like you were making a traditional pizza and press the dough up against all sides of cookie sheet, then spread your Pizza sauce on the pizza dough make sure you leave about 1 ½ inch from all edges so you can fold (if you have sauce on the edges the dough will not seal and you will have a big mess!) Sprinkle your ground beef mixture in the middle creating about a 3 inch line down the center of the sauce. Top ground beef with chopped bell pepper, Mozzarella and other toppings of your choice. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over toppings and now its time to close her up! Fold one long side to the middle line and then fold the other long side slightly over the edge of the dough you just folded and pinch together now pinch the ends. I sprinkled a little Mozzarella and Italian seasoning on the top to make it look a little tastier! Place in the middle of oven and cook for 15 to 20 Min or until Golden Brown….YUM
