Stromboli

February 26, 2009 By Kate 6 Comments

I know these sandwiches are a little different in method from traditional Stromboli, but this is my lazy way of choice to make them for nights when I need a quicker meal. These sandwiches are delicious and so quick to throw together, especially if the fillings are prepped ahead of time.

We like these for family movie or game nights. They’d also be fun food for entertaining. You could slice each loaf into small pieces and serve as an appetizer too. The fillings can easily be adjusted to taste too.

Stromboli

  • 2 loaves Italian bread
  • 1 c. pizza sauce
  • 1 lb. bulk sausage (Italian or plain pork), cooked and drained
  • 15-20 slices pepperoni
  • 1/4 c. sliced black olives
  • 1/4 c. sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, sliced or shredded

1. Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally without cutting all the way through. Spread 1/2 c. pizza sauce on the bottom of one side of each loaf.

2. Layer the sausage and pepperoni on top of the pizza sauce.3. Sprinkle the olives and mushrooms on top of the meats.
4. Add the cheese as the final layer.
5. Partially close the sandwiches and place in a 350 degree oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted.

Rodeo Chicken Sandwiches

These sandwiches are so good. Everything can be prepared ahead of time and left in the refrigerator. At dinner time all that’s left is to assemble the sandwiches and warm them in the microwave or oven. You can prepare them as a stand alone meal or from leftover chicken. Talk about turning leftovers into a wonderful new meal!

  • 2 T. butter or margarine
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1/2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6-8 slices cheese
  • 6-8 hamburger buns
