easy stromboli southern-style

Here, KY
Updated on May 13, 2015

This is a "fusion" type sandwich that I created from leftovers from my fridge. It combines classic Italian stromboli ingredients with American hickory smoked sausage. It is a great combination of flavors. I love it, but it's definitely a "once-in-a-while" kind of meal. Knife and fork required.

How To Make easy stromboli southern-style

  • Step 1
    Gather and prep all ingredients. Preheat indoor grill, grill pan, griddle or skillet (I use a George Foreman grill.)
  • Step 2
    Split hoagie roll lengthwise, but do not separate; split sausage the same.
  • Step 3
    Grill sausage on both sides until it is hot and has some nice grill marks, approximately 4 or 5 minutes. (You may brush the split side of roll with olive oil and place the roll on the grill also, just be sure to watch that it doesn't burn. Sometimes I grill the bread, sometimes not.)
  • Step 4
    When sausage and roll are ready, remove from grill and place roll, split side up, on foil lined baking sheet or toaster oven pan (spray foil with cooking oil spray;) preheat toaster oven or oven to 450ºF.
  • Step 5
    On split side of roll; arrange/layer the pepperoni, pepperoncini, and olives.
  • Step 6
    Spoon pizza sauce down the middle of each half.
  • Step 7
    Place sausage, split side down, on top.
  • Step 8
    Cover with mozzarella slices.
  • Step 9
    Bake at 450ºF until cheese is melted and begins to barely brown, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • Step 10
    Sprinkle with chives; serve immediately (split down the middle to share.) Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
