Welcome to Day 4 of my Superbowl appetizers week. Today is a recipe for Meatball Stromboli that is so good and simple to make. The best thing about this recipe is that you can make it two ways.

The "semi-homemade" way or the "from-scratch" way. The "from-scratch" way is to make your own dough, mix and brown your own meatballs, use homemade sauce and shred your own cheese. Though this way is good, it isn't a time saver.

The "semi-homemade" way is to use frozen or fresh pizza dough from your local supermarket or pizzeria, frozen pre-made meatballs, jar sauce and already shredded cheese.

This is what I call the "Oh crap, I've decided to have a last minute get together and have nothing to serve as an appetizer" way because it's THAT easy and quick to make!

I realized I hadn't made a meatball stromboli before on the blog and thought it would make a fun appetizer for the Superbowl theme this week. So I used a combination of both methods.

  • Frozen Pizza Dough; which I always have in the freezer to use for Friday pizza nights
  • Pre-made Italian Meatballs that I had in the freezer when the restaurant sent us home with some of the leftover food after R's party
  • Marinara Sauce; which I always have in the freezer as well. 
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Yes, Meatball Stromboli's are a little messy; especially when first coming out of the oven. So allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing into it.~Enjoy!
