Lovin' to Cook: Steak & Green Pepper Stromboli

I found a recipe on the Kraft website that inspired the following creation.  I love bread and anything wrapped in bread is definitely a must try.  The recipe looked good but I'm not much of a turkey and cheese girl so I decided to change the filling to steak, green pepper, onions and Swiss cheese.  I figured it would make a large enough meal that we'd have plenty of left overs for lunch but it was so good that we ate the whole thing.  I've made it twice now so the recipe below reflects not only a change in filling but some tweaks that I made.  Maybe someday I'll try the Kraft version but I thought my creation was pretty darn tasty.

Steak & Green Pepper Stromboli
Ingredients:
1 green pepper, cut in strips then cut strips in half
1 onion, sliced
2 cans refrigerated pizza dough
1 package thin round steaks, sliced into strips
Swiss cheese slices
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.

In a warmed medium sized pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray, cook the steak strips until about halfway done.  Salt and pepper while still pink to allow the seasoning to cook into the meat.  Add the green pepper and onion pieces.  Continue to cook until meat is done and peppers and onions are a bit soft but still crispy.

Open one roll of the pizza dough and place it on a cookie sheet.  Carefully press the dough out evenly (it doesn't need to fill the whole cookie sheet, just press it into a long, skinny strip that isn't too thick).  Cover the pizza dough with thin slices of Swiss cheese – leave about an inch around each edge of plain dough without cheese.

Spoon the meat and veggie filling onto the dough and spread it evenly.  You can top with additional Swiss cheese if you like.

Open the second roll of pizza dough and place it on top of everything.  Stretch it so that it’s roughly the same size and shape as your bottom dough.  Pinch both layers of dough together all around the edges so the meat, veggies and cheese are sealed inside.

Crack the egg into a small bowl and add about half a teaspoon of water.  Beat well and then brush the egg on to the top of the dough.  You may have egg left over depending on the size of your dough roll.

Bake for 25 minutes or until dough is nicely golden brown.  Let cool for five minutes and then cut the roll in slices the size of your choosing and enjoy!
