A Family Favorite

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

Courtney's 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!

Also try a BBQ Chicken Stromboli- Follow all the above direction but instead of the fillings listed above use BBQ chicken cooked and cut into cubes, green peppers, and onions. Also exchange BBQ sauce for Pizza Sauce.  So good!
