Hit me with your best shot!


I need your help in naming this recipe or lack there of.

The other night I made up a recipe--a concoction of ingredients that I had on hand. I don't know what to call them nor do I know how much of anything I used in making these. Here's the deal...I don't really use measurements in cooking. I always add stuff and never measure. There-- you have an intimate detail of Laura...the depths of who I am and how I roll. Back to business, I'll tell you what I did and see if you have any creative ideas for naming this.

I diced up pepperoni and fryed it. I added diced ham to it, continued frying it. I then browned some hamburger...adding minced onion, basil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning. I combined them all and added pizza sauce. Into the saucy combo I add Parmesan cheese...lots. Next I added shredded Italian cheese combo. (at this point you could also add mushrooms, black olives, green peppers, etc.--whatever your heart desires)

I stuffed the meaty goodness into sliced Bollilo rolls. I topped each roll with a slice of smoked Provolone cheese. (what, you don't usually have smoked Provolone on hand?) I stuck them in the oven to bask at about 400ish degrees (i don't really remember what temp it was...sorry) After awhile or so (didn't pay too close attention...just went by how they were lookin') I tapped on one of the rolls to test its "done-ness"...yes, it was toasted and flaky. To finish it all off, I turned the broiler on, getting my cheese into a bubbling frenzy...because that's how I like my cheese.

They were fan-tab-u-lous!!!!! Little salty, but I have low blood pressure...so I'm ok with that. ;)

Any ideas on what you would call these babies!?!?!?!?!?!

OR Sloppy Pinocchios.... Yeah the second one. We call sloppy Joes Sloppy Bobs because no one really knows if Joe is sloppy :)

I like Meat in a bun. LOL.

How about 'Laura's whacked-out meat frenzie' with a warning label for those with high blood pressure? You know...I could take your photo and put a slash through it for your warning.
What is a Bollilo roll, anyway? And seriously - you had provolone cheese on hand?! R U sure you don't live in NYC and your name is Francesca?

I kinda like Pizza Rolls. It's the first thing that came to mind (after heart-attack-in-a-bun).

Deb said...

Reading the names suggested (since I lack creativity) I like Pizza Dogs.

They look and sound amazing.
