Ingredients

  • 8 oz raw Ground Beef (96/4)
  • 2 slices Center Cut Bacon chopped
  • 1/4 75g Sweet Onion, optional
  • 1/4 C 60g Sugar Free BBQ Sauce, (G Hughes Sweet and Spicy)
  • 1 Tbsp 15g Dill Relish, optional
  • 1/4-1/2 C 28-56g Lite Shredded Cheese (Trader Joe's 3 Cheese Blend)
  • 1 tube 8oz Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls, keep chilled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Chop the bacon into small pieces before adding to a pan over medium-high heat. Dice the onion while the bacon cooks.
  • Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel to drain and immediately add the onion and ground beef. Cook until no pink remains.

  • Add the BBQ sauce and relish, stir, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for a few minutes before removing from the heat. (Your cheeseburger filling should be thick so there's no runoff during baking. If it's too runny, continue to simmer to thicken the mixture.)

  • Roll out the dough and press one half together with your fingers. Make sure there are no gaps in the dough. (*Braid instructions in the notes below.*)

  • Fill the pressed side with the cheeseburger mixture and top with cheese before folding the other half over the top. Press the edges together to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges, though I didn’t find it necessary.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on the top and cooked on the bottom. Be sure to check the bottom. If the top browns before the bottom cooks, cover the foil to finish cooking.

Notes

*For the braid, place the thick ends of the crescent rolls together back to back. Press them together in the center to create a spine-like shape before filling and wrapping.
1 Serving has 8 Smart Points
The braid method requires a bit less cheese to cover the meat than the square method, hence the range. The nutrition info is with 1/4 cup cheese. 
If you're doubling the recipe to make two strombolis, the bake time may be extended by a few minutes.
