BBQ Sausage Stromboli

This super tasty recipe was created out of the random food items in our house.  Do you ever listen to the NPR radio show “Cook Your Cupboard” where people send in three totally unrelated food items and the host has to make a meal with them?  I am always so amazed with what they come up with!  I’m so not that creative.  This meal is about as creative as this girl gets!

I had a tub of the new Pillsbury Gluten Free Pizza Dough and was planning on making some veggie calzones with it.  However the ingredients I planned on using were used for other meals.  So I took a hodge podge of items and made this kick tail, sauce running down your arm, dinner!  Introducing Gluten Free BBQ Sausage Stromboli!

What You Need
1 tub of Pillsbury GF Pizza Dough
1 cup of cooked pork sausage – we had leftovers from the previous day
1/2 cup of BBQ sauce – I used Bone Suckin Sauce
1 onion
EVOO – extra virgin olive oil
1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese

How to Make It
Slice the onion and caramelize in the EVOO in a skillet.  This takes about 15 minutes.  Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Remove the onions from the skillet and add the sausage to heat it up.  Roll out the pizza dough on parchment paper.  You want it thin but not too thin because you don’t want it to crack.  Spread the BBQ sauce down the center of the rolled out dough.  Cover with the caramelized onions, sausage and almost all the cheese.  

Carefully fold the sides in and pinch the seams together.  Top with remaining cheese.  Bake for 15 minutes.  

This was a WOW!  The flavors went together so well!  The pizza dough was good but not as earth shattering as the cookie dough.   However, it was great for this dish since its main job was to hold all the goodness.  The hubby and I split one and ate every last crumb!

Looking forward to making this again!  I can see adding bacon to it!
