Savory Burger & Blue Cheese Roll!

Yet another use for Pillsbury dough! They should be paying me or something... :)


1. Cook 1# of ground beef, or moose, or whatever you have 150 lbs of in your freezer.



2. Unroll pizza crust dough on greased cookie sheet, spread with barbecue sauce, then spread layer of cooked meat.  Don't spread all the way to the far end - you want a little flap for closing the roll.


3. Top with crumbled blue cheese and shredded mozzarella.


4. Roll from near short end like a big jelly roll with closing flap last; this keeps it from unrolling while it cooks.  It will look like some kind of big white larvae from a sci-fi movie, but trust me that it will look better when it is cooked!

5.  Bake according to dough package directions.  Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella for last 5 minutes.



6. Slice to serve with bbq sauce.

Wicked Easy Ham Sammich Roll!

Ingredients:

1 Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust (don't get the thin crust; it doesn't roll well)

8oz sliced deli ham (or...could use any kind of deli meat)

6oz sliced swiss cheese (other kinds of cheese leak out of the roll too much)

- Unroll the crust onto a greased (I use butter flavor Pam) cookie sheet.

- Sprinkle with a little parsley if you have some.

- Bake @ 400 for 6 minutes. Should be dry on surface.

- Remove from oven; cover to edges with alternating layers of meat and cheese to about a half inch thick.

- Can spread a little mayo or mustard or barbecue sauce on top if desired.

- Start from one short side; roll like a jelly roll.  No need to lick it to stick closed :)

- Lay on baking sheet with seam side down.

- Bake @ 400 for 8-10 minutes.  Will brown from cooking spray left on outside.

Suggestions:

- Don't add veggies.  They introduce too much moisture which causes dough to break apart.

- Slice to serve.  I like to put slices of tomato and lettuce and mayo with it on the plate.

- Serves 2 grown humans with normal appetites.  Serves 1 if munchies or super hungry.

- Can drizzle slices with barbecue sauce or mustard, or if feeling adventurous, try making a white sauce with a little mustard powder.  

- Other kinds of deli meat work also, but beware of any that contain a lot of moisture like roast beef. Try pressing the meat slices between a layer of paper towels to absorb excess water.
