Steak and Cheese strombolis

This is a quick and delicious dinner. My kids love it. Pretty much just a big pizza rolled up into a log but for some reason they like it better than just regular pizza. You can use whatever meat you have on hand--deli roast beef, thinly sliced steak/beef, even ground beef if that's all you have. And use whatever cheese your family likes best: Cheddar, Jack, Swiss. I serve it with steamed broccoli and cauliflower and sometimes with a fruit shake to drink.

1 pkg. Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 C. chunky pasta sauce
1/2 lb. beef
1 C. shredded cheese
Jalapeno or green chili peppers (optional)

Heat oven to 450. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. On a well-floured work surface, roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle. Spread pasta sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges. Top with meat, cheese and peppers. Starting at one of the short sides of the rectangle, roll up jelly-roll style. Pinch the ends and tuck underneath as you go. Place on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Bake at 450 for 20 min. or until browned on top and hollow sounding when tapped. Let cool for 10 min. before slicing.
