Stromboli

Stolen from http://www.rumbleinthekitchen.blogspot.com/ (picture too)...and it was delicious!


Premade Pizza Dough
Cheese (Try: Provolone, Swiss, Mozzarella) (6-8 oz)
Meat (Try: Ham, Hard Salami, Turkey) (6-8 oz)
1 Beaten Egg Yolk
Garlic Powder
Dried Oregano
Dried Parsley
Preheat oven to 375. Roll out your dough into a rectangular shape. Put a layer of cheese over the entire surface, leaving about an inch of dough showing all the ends and a 1/2 inch at the long sides. Put a layer of meat's over the cheese, again leaving room all the way around.

Sprinkle a fine layer of each garlic powder, oregano and parsley, over the meats.
Roll it up starting at one of the shorter ends. Place it on a greased baking sheet seam down. Use a brush to paint the entire exposed surface with the egg yolk. Sprinkle a little cheese and parsley over the top and bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown all over. Let stand a few minutes before serving.

For a twist Add a marinara sauce or ranch to dip it in!

3/4 pound ground beef (85% lean)
1 3/4 cups Chicken Broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crushed OR 1/8 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can (about 8 ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups uncooked medium tube-shaped or corkscrew-shaped pasta

Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it's well browned, stirring often to break up the meat. Pour off any fat.

Stir the broth, Worcestershire, oregano, garlic and tomatoes in the skillet and heat to a boil. Stir in the pasta. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often. Uncover.

Cook for 5 minutes or until the pasta is tender.
