Ham and Swiss Stromboli

1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
6 oz thinly sliced deli ham, cubed
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled *I just buy the bacon bits*
1 1/2 cups (6oz) shredded or cubed Swiss cheese

Roll out dough on lightly greased baking sheet. Place ham over dough to within 1/2 inch of edges; sprinkle evenly with bacon and cheese. Roll up jelly roll style, starting with a long side. Pinch seams well to seal and tuck ends under. Flip over carefully so seam is down on baking sheet.
With sharp knife, cut several 1/4 inch deep slits on top of loaf. Bake at 350 degrees for 26-30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm. 6-8 servings.

Harry wants me to make this. You can buy lemon curd but I saw it being made on Nate Berkus the other day. Sure is easy enough to do at home. LEMON COCONUT POKE CAKE (Taste and Tell) 1 (16.25-oz) white cake mix 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (15-oz) cream of coconut (usually found with the drink mixers) 2 cups lemon curd 1 (16-oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip) 2 cups sweetened coconut Prepare the cake according to package directions. While still hot, poke holes through the top of the cake with a skewer. In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut. Pour over the warm cake. When the cake has cooled, spread the lemon curd over the top of the cake. If not serving right away, refrigerate. When ready to serve, top with the Cool Whip and then sprinkle with coconut. LEMON CURD (Nate Berkus website) 3/4 cup granulated sugar Grated rind and juice (1/3 cup) of 2 lemons 1/2 cup butter 3 eggs, beaten Put all ingredients in the top of a double boiler, over hot water. Stir until mixture is well blended and begins to thicken. This takes only a few minutes; it will continue to thicken as it cools. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal, or into scrupulously cleaned jars for refrigeration or freezing. Makes 1-3/4 cups

Italian Meatball Rolls (Better Homes & Gdns) Refrigerated Italian-style turkey meatballs take the work out of this favorite--and help lower the calories and fat, too. 2-1/2 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 8-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed 8 ounces refrigerated Italian-style cooked turkey meatballs (8 meatballs), halved 4 whole wheat hot dog buns 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (2 ounces) Snipped fresh oregano (optional) 1. Preheat broiler. Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; preheat over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to hot skillet; cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and the dried oregano. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 2 minutes. Stir in meatballs. Cook about 5 minutes more or until meatballs are heated through. 2. Meanwhile, open buns so they lay flat and place on a baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat about 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Divide meatball mixture among buns. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese is melted. If desired, sprinkle with fresh oregano. Makes 4 servings

Luckygardnr, I posted a recipe similar to that earlier this month. Don't they look like you could eat the whole batch in one sitting? This looks like good football treats--why wait for the Kentucky Derby for hot browns? KENTUCKY HOT BROWN BITES (Plain Chicken) Mornay Sauce 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 cup milk Pinch of freshly ground pepper Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste 1/2 cup coarsely grated GruyÃ¯Â¿Â½re or Swiss Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour, and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. (Do not let mixture brown.) Add milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a low boil, and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat, and stir in cheese. Allow to cool slightly. Bites 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls 1 cup finely chopped turkey 1 cup mornay sauce 2 slices bacon, chopped 1 tomato, diced 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine finely chopped turkey and mornay sauce. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with non stick cooking spray. Unroll crescent rolls and press dough into one large rectangle. Cut rectangle into 24 squares. Press dough squares into muffin cups and shape up around the edges. Fill each muffin cup with some of the turkey mixture. Top each bite with some diced tomato, bacon and parmesan cheese. Bake 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
