A dear friend of mine made this for my family after I had had serious surgery. It has become a family favorite ever since. An easy and impressive meal.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a simple way to make stromboli at home. Using crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough is not only easy but it also creates a flaky, buttery crust. The ground beef and pepperoni filling is hearty and cheesy; just what you expect from stromboli. Slices of mozzarella cheese melt and become gooey. Serve with a green salad for a meal or cut small slices for a simple appetizer.
