Anybody have a Stromboli recipe that uses crumbled sausage, onions, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese whatever else on a long bun/roll? Used to be a place that made the best Stromboli's you ever ate up in Ind. Down here in Tx. they don't know what that is . LOL one time we ordered them at a Italian place looked like a weird mess like a turnover or something LOL

allrecipes.com didn't seem to have what I'm used to either. any links that U can share I'd appreciate it. Looks like I'm gonna have to make my own to get close to what I want.

Thanks !

I have never heard of a Stromboli Sandwch. Every stromboli I have ever seen has meat, cheese or veggies, etc. rolled up in fresh bread dough and baked. It should look like a turnover.

Strombolis made with a long roll must be a regional item.

The filling made with eggs and sausage sounds really good. It would be a wonderful brunch item.

Yeah, I guess it's like my coney island recipe when I was growing up in rural Ind. nobody knows what that is either. LOL People thought it was a hot dog, one gal thought it was a mixed drink, etc. Just bologna, cheese, onions, pickles, mustard and Kraft miracle whip . Mix up the first 4 ingred.'s add your mustard & miracle whip and you eat like you would tuna or chicken salad.

Place up in Ind that used to make the best Stromboli's ,Village Inn now they're gone. :-(

LOL thanks for that recipe I'll adapt from it gives me a idea what I'm after.

Perhaps it is a regional thing. Most Mom and Pop Pizza Places had a "strom" on the menu in the 70's or 80's. Yes I'm in IN. My kids love for me to make stroms and send them home with them. I'll have to dig out my recipe. I'm not sure if there is any sausage in the sandwich, but it is much as you describe: meat, onions, garlic, marinara, cheeses, Italian seasoning, all packed on a hoagie bun then wrapped in foil to bake. The most important thing is to add enough cheese to "tighten" the sandwich filling.

Good ol' Ind. I'm from the Evansville area and I was raised on chicken and dumplings, dressing, etc. Down here in Tx. they go "what"? hahahhah thank God I can make my own when I get the urge for decent food. I ordered chicken and dumplings from Cracker Barrel down here and ewwww ! I wouldn't feed that mess to a komodo dragon. Tasted like flour and cornstarch. No, thank you..........

In Pennsylvania, we call that sort of sandwich a grinder. A stromboli is a completely different thing.

I love hearing about regional foods and how things are different even with the same name.

Here' one for you Carmie. Husband and I took a vacation to London, England in 1995 and on the breakfast menu at the hotel they had 'welsh rabbit' I looked at him and said "I'm not eating any rabbit for breakfast" hahahahaha forget what it is really some kind of mess on toast think it is. I stuck with toast and jam. LOL Food over there is, well, kind of strange. We were lucky we found a McDonald's I ran in and got hamburger and fries. LOL Nice people though. Beautiful place.

I am well traveled and I have seen Welsh Rarebit on a breakfast menu. It is toast with a cheesy looking sauce poured over it. I have never tasted it though. I have celiac disease and can't eat bread and most sauces because it's probably made with wheat flour.

While in China my husband could not stand the Chinese food any longer, so I visited a McD to get him a burger and fries as a surprise.. In the same place, there was a Krispy Kreme donut shop. Most of the donuts had a filling of mystery meat in them. I finally found a bear claw with no filling and purchased that. Food sure is interesting when you travel.

Your right. I sure wouldn't do what those men do on TV when they visit foreign lands and eat with the natives , etc. No, thank you ! I wouldn't mind seeing France, but, that's out I'm not getting on a plane now days either. Glad we did all our traveling yrs. ago and cruises too. We never got sick on the high seas hahahha those poor people now, oh , no, that's not gonna be me.
