→ For the Stromboli

13 - 1 can refrigerated pizza crust
14 - 2 cups Colby cheese, shredded
15 - 1 tablespoon melted butter

# Instructions:

01 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced onion and ground beef until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
02 - Add Worcestershire sauce, beef bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
03 - Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, and brown sugar. Mix well, remove from heat, and let the filling cool slightly.
04 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll the refrigerated pizza crust into a rectangle.
05 - Sprinkle 1 cup Colby cheese over the dough, spread the cooled sloppy joe filling evenly on top, and finish with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
06 - Fold the long edges toward the center with a slight overlap. Pinch the seam and ends closed, then place seam-side down. Cut 4 to 5 small slits on top and brush with melted butter.
07 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

# Notes:

01 - Let the filling cool before adding it to the dough.
02 - Avoid overfilling; reserve extra filling for sandwiches.
03 - Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
