Italian Meat Bars image

Spicy and flavorful italian meats in a soft, chewy and rich pastry crust. A favorite in our house and often requested for pot-luck gatherings, especially around the holidays! I got this recipe from a coworker years ago who just gave me general directions, and have spent a few years refining it.

Time 50m

Yield 24 bars, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls
2 eggs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup romano cheese
3/4 lb provolone cheese
1/4 lb pepperoni
1/4 lb salami
1/4 lb capicola
1/4 lb mortadella
1/4 lb prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Spread 1 roll of crescent rolls over bottom of the greased 13 x 9 pan in a sheet, spreading slightly if necessary.
  • Layer half of provolone cheese, overlapping.
  • Create 1 layer of each italian meat, slightly overlapping, in the order of your choosing.
  • layer the rest of the provolone over the italian meats.
  • Unroll the other can of crescent rolls over the top, spreading slightly if necessary. Don't worry if it doesn't completely cover everything, they'll puff during baking.
  • whisk together eggs and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush ENTIRE MIXTURE over the top. You can pour it into the edges and corners if you like as well.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Cool and cut into bars, or along the triangles of the crescent dough for sandwiches.
  • The meats in the recipe list are merely suggestions. I use whatever happens to be on sale when I go to the grocery store, but always use at least pepperoni, salami and capicola.
  • Amount of meat can be adjusted based on personal preference.
  • Instead of bars, you can also cut along the triangles from the crescent rolls and make 8 sandwiches instead.

These meat bars were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

These meat bars were a great way to use up some leftover ground beef. They were also a lot healthier than traditional meatloaf.

I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf, but these meat bars were actually really good! They were moist and flavorful, and the bread crumbs gave them a nice crispy crust.

These meat bars were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt I use next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meat bars turned out a little dry. I think next time I'll add some extra moisture, maybe some chopped vegetables or a sauce.
