PEPPERONI AND SAUSAGE STROMBOLI RECIPE

My friends son recently said he was craving stromboli. So Amanda (his Mom) sends me a text and says “Do you have an easy recipe for Stromboli that Skye can make?” At the time I did not have an exact recipe with measurements but I had an idea of how to make an easy version of it. It turned out perfectly!

GOOEY CHEESE AND YUMMY FILLINGS

You can totally fill this stromboli with whatever ingredients your family loves. Personally, I would throw in some green peppers, onions and olives but since my family is totally allergic to any vegetable at all – I left it out of this particular version. 😉

    Hi Brandie. I made this for a very late lunch today, and it is really good. Definitely something that I will make again when we need an easy and quick meal. (Although next time I think I’ll put some thinly sliced mushrooms on my side.) 🙂
    Have a great week!
