Easy Mozzarella Cheesesteak Stromboli Recipe

We’re all mindful of how we spend money these days, especially with a hungry family to feed. Because of this, I find it helpful when grilling any variety of meats to prepare more than we need for our meal, so we can have a “round 2″ meal another day. Not only does it save money in the long run, but precious family time as well.

Grilled sirloin is easy to repurpose into a completely different and satisfying meal. Simply roll it up in pizza dough, add crisp sautéed bell peppers and onions, and finish it off with plenty of gooey mozzarella cheese. While the stromboli bakes, toss together a fresh salad with your favorite leafy greens and crisp vegetables, and you’ll have a perfectly paired, family-style dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.
