Antipasto Squares

Have you noticed a trend? I've been posting super Bowl style food this week. This lovely little dish is the winner of the www.justapinch.com sporty snack showdown. It is quite tasty and easy to make. It is a cross between antipasto and a deep dish pizza. No I didn't enter it in the contest but I sure wish I had.  This was entered by Gail Herbest from Bangor, Maine. Congrats Gail! I hope y'all can enjoy this dish at your next gathering.

1/4 lb thinly sliced pepperoni ( about 30 slices)
1 jar(s) 12 oz size, roasted red peppers, drained and cut into thin strips

  1. So is this a meal thing as well, or more of a snack thing while you're watching tv. I can't tell. And"genoa salami".....can it be those big sausage looking things that they sell in a the "U" shape. (you know what I mean, right?)
    PS- you TOTALLY should've entered the contest!

  2. Melissa the u shaped stuff is actually smoked sausage. You can get the genoa Salami behind the deli counter and walmart or your favorite super market. You just tell them how much you need and how thin you want them to cut it. You can eat this as a meal or snack! I did enter the contest but didn't win. I how ever placed 1st runner up for my Buttermilk pie in the Holiday traditions contest. That recipe is on here too! And in the Church cook book!
