"The first time I served this dish to my deer-hunting family, everyone thought I had ordered from an Italian restaurant," says Dianna Croskey of Gibsonia, Pennsylvania. "My brother-in-law even asked me to make this for his birthday dinner."

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 pound ground venison
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
2 tablespoons California Olive Ranch® Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons prepared Italian salad dressing, divided
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Spaghetti sauce, warmed, optional

Steps:

  • Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled. Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook venison, onion, green pepper and mushrooms in oil until meat is no longer pink. Drain. Stir in Italian seasoning; set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, punch dough down. Roll out each loaf into a 16-in. x 8-in. rectangle; cut in half widthwise. Brush 1/2 tablespoon Italian dressing over each square to within 1 in of edges. On half of each square, mound a fourth of the venison mixture, cheddar cheese, mozzarella and pepperoni. Fold dough over filling and seal edges well.
  • Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with remaining dressing; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Slice; serve with spaghetti sauce if desired.
  • Yield: 4 loaves (1-2 servings each).
