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.
