What's better on a cold Sunday night than a Stromboli and football. Well, no football for me, but the rest of you, go ahead enjoy it. I'll just be in the kitchen, eating my Stromboli, catching up on past episodes of my favorite soap, The Young and Restless...
The original Pizza King in Evansville, In is home to Stromboli's, and there are none better. We lived there for years and ate them many, many times, but now that we live in Middle Tennessee, they aren't readily available, so the search was on to duplicate their recipe. I searched online, made several variations and this one is the closest I can come to Pizza King's.
Ingredients
1 pound mild bulk sausage
1 pound hot Italian sausage (casing removed if using links)
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce (I use Trader Joe's tomato basil)
about 30 pepperonis chopped (stack and chop, makes it easier)
1 8 ounce block mozzarella cheese, grated
3 tsp crushed red pepper flakes - Pizza King Stroms always have heat, you choose the degree
6 deli type hoagie rolls
olive oil
6 sheets of aluminum foil, about 12-14 inches long
baking sheet
Steps:
Brown the sausages and onions in a saute' pan. Drain any fat from the pan. Add the garlic and chopped pepperoni when the sausage is browned. Add the marinara sauce and red pepper flakes. Stir until thoroughly mixed and heated through.
Brush the top and bottom of a deli roll with some good olive oil. Put the sliced deli roll in the middle of a piece of foil, fill with sausage mixture. Put several heaping hands full of cheese on the sausage. Bring the edges of the foil together and roll down to the sandwich and roll the ends up.
When all the rolls have been filled and wrapped, place them on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Unwrap and enjoy.
