Pizza Roll Ups

We're in the process of getting our apartment packed up to move next week. Needless to say, it's been a little stressful around here! Last night I thought I should probably cook a meal for my family for once. I'm normally pretty on the ball with family dinners, cooking something different every other night with leftovers in between. When I opened the fridge last night I realized that instead of a few things for one meal, I had a bunch of different things to make a bunch of separate meals. I pretty much needed to run to the grocery store if I wanted to make an actual meal for my boys. Then I decided to put a couple of things together and make something different than usual. Fifteen minutes later we had these Pizza Roll Ups for dinner! Not only were they super easy to make, but they were really good and really fun to eat. This is a perfect meal for the kiddos!


Pizza Roll Ups
makes 8 roll ups

• 1 (8-count) package Pillsbury tubed crescent roll dough (or your favorite brand)
• shredded mozzarella cheese
• Canadian bacon
• pineapple, diced
• other favorite pizza toppings
• pizza sauce, for dipping (see recipe below or buy your favorite sauce)

Sauce
This is the same recipe for the Copycat Pizza Hut Pizza & Cheese Bread. It was so much easier and cheaper making this than buying a jar of pizza sauce from the store! And it tastes much better.

• 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 tsp. dry oregano
• 1/2 tsp. marjoram
• 1/2 tsp. dry basil
• 1/2 tsp. garlic salt

 Begin by flattening out each individual crescent roll dough. Place desired pizza toppings at the large end of the triangle. We're Hawaiian pizza fans at our house! I used four pieces of Canadian bacon and a small pile of the pineapple.

 Then sprinkle some of the cheese right over the other toppings.

Finally, roll up each roll from the large side of the triangle to the tip. Press the tip against the rest of the roll to ensure it is sealed shut. Go around and pinch the open spaces of each roll together so the cheese doesn't fall out as it melts.

Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are a light golden brown.

Serve with hot pizza sauce and enjoy!
