Pizza Rolls! Who wants the weekend off from cooking??
Alright, technically, this isn’t a southern recipe in my mind. Then again, technically, if I am a southerner and I reside in the south and I make this – its southern food, right?
The main thing to remember is, these are cheap, my family loves them, they taste GREAT, and I WONT HAVE TO COOK ANY BIG MEALS THIS WEEKEND!!!
My mom used to make these when she and my dad went out of town. We were all in our late teens and they left three of us, ages fifteen through twenty, alone in the house for two to three days at a time. They didn’t fret much though. Mama would make a batch of pizza rolls and some ham and cheese croissants. She gave my brother pizza money for all of us and they went off on a little getaway, confident that their offspring were responsible and intelligent young adults who would behave while they were away.
Yeah, I’ll never do that. I know better.
Without further adieu, Pizza Rolls!
You’ll need: TWO packages of sub rolls, mozzerella cheese, TWO jars of Pizza sauce, Plastic cling wrap, and beef. We’re going to make a dozen of these. If you’d like to make only six, just half it. I always buy saran wrap when I make these as you will be using a good quantity of it and I’m usually running low about this time anyway, so Saran Wrap is just kind of part of the recipe for me.
See my link for how I process larger quantities of ground beef at once. Either do it that way or brown your ground beef as you see fit. Either way, we need it browned and drained well.
Place ground beef in a skillet and stir in Pizza sauce. I use about a jar and a half, not quite two jars.
This is where normal people would have this skillet full of sauteed onions and bell peppers as well. Normal people would like to have sauteed onions and peppers in with this dish. Normal people would find that delicious in addition to smelling downright heavenly. However, I am convinced that out of my entire household (even my own children), I am the only one who was not dropped on their head as a child. No one in my household will eat these if I put onions and bell peppers in them. Normal = me. Abnormal = my family. If you are normal, feel free to add some sauteed onions and peppers. 
Tuck the ends onto the side and you’ve got a pizza roll! Now that we know what to do here, lets set up an assembly line for the rest.
Plop these puppies in the fridge and whenever you want one, just get it out and microwave for one minute!I am honestly not cooking this weekend! Except for some frozen waffles for breakfast and a tutorial I’m doing tomorrow or Sunday on sausage gravy…
I won’t be cooking thanks to pizza rolls!
Ingredients Instructions
Sample dialogue from this weekend :
Kid/Husband : “I’m hungry”
Smiling Woman: “Well, we have pizza rolls in the fridge..”
Kid/Husband: “Oh Cool!”
Smiling Woman goes back to her reading, embroidery, napping, crocheting, watching tv, etc without lifting a finger.

Sheesh, I can’t believe how rude Anonymous was! These rolls are healthier than a lot of things you can eat- with them in the fridge or freezer, you can forgo swinging by a fast food place. And Christy, you are a brave woman for keeping up unkind comments people write. I don’t think people would fault you for deleting the negative ones, but you leave them up
)
Back on track, I made these tonight because the end of the semester is looming (I’m going to school to be an elementary teacher) and it’s going to be a very busy week. I used ground turkey because I’m a big weirdo who hates ground beef (I had serious food texture issues as a child and while 99% of them have gone away and I’m not a picky eater, ground beef does me in). I added chopped pepperoni, sauteed mushrooms and sliced black olives, and ended up adding some oregano and garlic powder. I hope you don’t mind me messing with your recipes. I always figure people should change recipes around as they see fit. Also, your method of wrapping them individually and then sticking them back in the bag is ingenious. Anyway, my fiance and I love the pizza rolls! So good and so easy! I will definitely be making these again. They remind us of Sloppy Joes so we changed their name to Sloppy Luigis because Pizza Rolls make us think of those little frozen pizza things from the grocery store.
love your add ins. I was thinking of doing something along those lines my self. I’ll be making this very soon. yummy in my tummy. easy for the kiddos to make. they always want something right after school…
Hi! I found your website about a week ago….LOVE it?….just wondering, do you heat these in the saran wrap?….When I warmed mine up, the roll got kind of “rubbery”…am I doing something wrong?
Hey Everybody,
I think you could use wax paper to wrap these in when you’re ready to eat them if you don’t want to use plastic wrap. Hi Christy!
Ohhh thankyou… Just headed back to work after a lonnnggg hiatus and these kinda recipies will keep my family fed and happy while I am feeling guilty at abandoning them. KEEP them coming. Christy you are my HERO!!!
Thanks for this easy, yummy recipe! Have you ever tried it with other toppings too (like olives or mushrooms)? Since I like those toppings too, this would be a great way to “individualize” my pizza.
BTW, I am so addicted to this site. There are so many recipes that remind me of my grandmother as I was growing up in Mississippi. Thanks for keeping the Southern Art of cooking alive and well. 
I can’t wait to try these! “We” go fishing when my dh gets time off from work…taking the old motor home (I will only take camping so far, folks! LOL). I think I could make these up and, even if the grand kids are with us, we will have something that will feel, and smell, homemade when they come out of the microwave! LOL This is one of the only blogs that I have found what we would classify as “real food”, and I hope you never quit! Keep up the good work…and clue us in daily if you don’t mind! LOL
Hey I accidently ran into your site, those things look soooooo good!!! Does it taste similar to a sloppy joe?
[...] This is a great recipe I usually make on Fridays when I have a busy weekend coming up. I make six to twelve of them and stash them in the fridge so throughout the weekend whenever folks get hungry all they have to do is heat one up in the microwave for a no fuss meal. To see my original recipe, click here. [...]
I made these! HOW WONDERFUL!! Even my grandsons that don’t like sandwiches love them! I will forever use this one….well, as long as I can call it cooking! LOL Thank you again and again! Did anyone ever find out if these could be frozen and then reheated without any problems? Mine don’t last long enough to even think of putting in the freezer!
This is saving my days!
I did sub my own tomato sauce and used turkey instead of meat on accounta I have super high cholesterol — but I never would have thought of this without you!!! I love your recipes, Christy!!
Made 6 because there’s just two of us, gone in a heart beat so gonna make up some more… yummy and fast, thank you Christy!!!
Oh…and P.S. veggies (onions, green peppers, anything) can be shredded and added to the tomato sauce, not to the meat, making them even harder to find…you can add them to store bought or your own and nobody will be the wiser… simmer a bit and they will blend right in!
Ground turkey and wheat bread is more expensive than ground beef but you have to figure in the cost of cholesterol medication or the cost of losing someone to heart attack etc. to see if the extra cost is worth it! (and no, I’m not anonymous!)
Most shrink wrap stuff is microwave friendly…
and you should be able to freeze this, provided the meat wasn’t frozen after cooking and the bread wasn’t either.
If you use raw meet, cook it up, then make this and freeze it in bread that hasn’t been frozen before, you’re good..
In any case, this is yummy stuff!
OH girl these are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. I think I’ll go devour one now
I’d love to hear some more ideas for food on the go or food thats easily ready in the fridge for on the go families!!

[...] You know, it just kills me when folks come to my blog and expect to find health food. Alright, so far only one person has remarked about it and I am certain he/she really needed a life. Still, for entertainment purposes y’all go look at comments under Pizza Rolls. [...]
I LOVE THIS WEBSITE I AM SO GLAD I FOUND IT
I was just wondering do these get soggy? I think someone else ask but didnt see an answer.
THANKS
KIm
Ok, so I was looking at the recipe for the Butterfinger cake (which is in the oven now)to see what was next, when I “stumbled upon” this awesome recipe. Gonna try this week. As for that “Anonymous” person goes, I think I have it figured out ya’ll. See if this cranks your tractor.
2 lbs ground beef, browned and drained***having to kill the cow, process, package and distribute. (remember the word process here)
2 C Mozzarella *** she/he left this one out..
1 Dozen sub rolls***there are such things as wheat sub rolls.
2 – 15 oz jars of pizza sauce***glass/plastic jars are used here, bet they thought we don’t recycle.. well I DO !
1. Used wheat rolls ***see note above
2. Made your own 15 minute sauce with tomatoes, garlic, and herbs
***We do this, and we buy store bought also. Oh, and we recycle those jars.
3. Used ground turkey*** now here’s the kicker. One shell will get the bird, no processing like beef, draining of fluids, cleaning. etc, you get my idea, and then you pretty much use the whole bird at once if you live around my parts, but if you purchase the turkey from the store, then you are still getting the processed product. Guess this could be the 1 shell vs. the whole killing process of the beef.
You could:
1. Provide your family with some nutrition***beef and turkey both provide nutrition, along with bread and sauces.
2. Have about 1/3 of the sodium***depends on if I purchase the low sodium (which was not listed either way by Christy)or when I make my sauce, I cut back on that salt that I love so much.
3. Use less processed ingredients***processed.. there’s that word again.. umm beef or sauce
4. Have less cholesterol and more protein***beef has protein, or at least the beef we eat does
and possibly
5. Have less of an environmentally negative impact***beef/bird..glass/plastic (recycled)..
what the heck was this person thinking?? Maybe they were switching between this site and a “green” site.. who knows.
Now, I’m jumping off my soap box cause I gotta get that caramel and milk mixed before the cake is done.
Thanks Christy for getting me back in my kitchen after an extended “vacation” from it.
Lol. Thank YOU for the big grin this beautiful Sunday evening!!!!
Anonymous, I think you may have stumbled onto the wrong site, are not familiar with Southern manners or are just plain rude. I’ve never understood the motives of people who go to sites to “police” them or to “set other people straight”, according to their lofty opinions. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. I would think your time would be better spent cooking pine needles, munching on roasted flax seed or hugging a tree. I will continue to make these wonderful recipes, eat in moderation and exercise. It works for me and I’m barely over 100 pounds. Keep posting these great dishes, Christy, and don’t let a rotten tomato spoil the whole bushel. I appreciate how you kill the trolls with kindness.
Christy, I love these. I like you always have pre browned hamburger (next time will follow your pre cooked way) and pre sauted veggies (onion pepper and mushrooms added to the sandwich.) in the freezer. So I made these today. Talk about a hit. There were none to put away. Next time I will double it so there are extras put away.
Hope you and your family had a great 4th.
Thanks again for your site, and for taking the time to do the step by step. I’m coping these to a word document with all your woinderful comments. I love them all. They are definalty a great read and pick me up after a long busy day. Plus a great way to get my (21 yr old, who has been taught to cook.) to cook. He has no questions, or can’t do with the step by step instructions.
Oh yea, the Easy Peasy Cherry Cheese Cobbler was a hit at our church picnic last week. Thanks Christy and Bill………..
Christy, I use ground turkey cause it’s more budget friendly, but this is a great recipe. Don’t know why I never thought about cooking it up all at once and freezing it for spaghetti, lasagna, chili, ziti, etc. I, too, like to add onions, garlic, peppers, and herbs. My son, who has a blended family, will absolutely love this recipe.
This will be a very big hit with the kids!! Thanks so much for sharing.
I found a new product in the grocery store this week – Hormel Pepperoni Minis, tiny pepperoni slices maybe 5/8 inches in diameter. They made a super addition to the meat mixture.
Also, I put half the cheese in the roll first, then meat, then more cheese. Exyra cheese – yum! Plus they boys said the rolls held up better.
I adore your site!
My son will love this recipe and I can’t wait to make it for him or maybe we’ll make it together…as a matter of fact when he comes home from basic training, I plan on showing him this site…I think he can make anything on this page because it has pictures …this is a “guy friendly” site for sure when it comes to cooking…thanks for a wonderful site.
This recipe looks wonderful!! It’s PERFECT for a mum of an ALWAYS hungry 12 year old!! I can’t wait to make some this weekend!! Thanks for the recipe!!
[...] Pizza Rolls [...]
I made these before Christmas to have on hand during the busy week right before the big day. What an awesome recipe. So easy to change to your families tastes. I too added peppers,onions,garlic, mushrooms,italian seasonings, and pepperoni chopped up. Cooked with the meat as it browned. I followed other suggestion and put the Mozzarella cheese in rolls first, then added cooled meat mixture, and topping with a sprinkling of red pepper flakes (like at the pizza parlour) and a pizza blend cheese. Personal preference I don’t like bread in the microwave. Wrapped in foil so I could pop in a preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes. I use a large toaster oven. Came out beautiful. My wonderful husband told me to keep this recipe. Will use this often in the future. So glad I found your website. All your recipes are so adaptable and that’s what southern cooking is all about–using what you have on hand and what you like. Keep up the good recipes.
We dont have or use a microwave. Do you know how these do heat up in an oven? Thanks. Just found your sight and I love it. Keep up the great work.
God bless
I am so glad you found us Renee, welcome to the Southern Plate Family!!! As for re-heating the Pizza Rolls I’d just wrap them in foil and place them in the oven on 350 until just heated through.
Christy, I agree that these are a great idea for a large family on the go. The amount of chemicals and preservatives used in fast food is astounding! Apparently, McDonalds french fries won’t even grow mold after 4 years!!! The more we cook for our families at home and the less we rely on convenience meals, in my professional opinion (ICU RN for 14 years), the HEALTHIER our families will be! My grandmothers (both of them) fried chicken at least 2x a week and lived in to their 90s and one lived to be over 100 years old! But, they grew their own food and actually cooked for their families….that is the difference! Keep up the great work!
[...] you almost want to laugh…..he came to spend the night with Nanny when I was trying out your pizza rolls for the first time….. we are talking about a boy that firmly hates sandwiches…..he [...]
hey christy,
(i wanted to try your boil method but i have a cut with stitches on my finger and was afraid to do the gushing part now. )
i made these with the hot dog rolls and my kids loved them! we heated them in the oven and the bread was nice and crispy (which my hubby loved) my youngest even helped me wrap them up! i have a nice little stockpile in my freezer now for quick dinners and emergency sandwiches for daddy’s lunch!
thanks for a great recipe!
p.s. when my hubby saw me cooking a huge batch of ground beef, he was like “but how do you make it into hamburgers?”
Made these this morning for dinner tonight; wrapped them in tin foil and then popped them in the oven for 15 minutes-turned out perfect!
All three of my kids LOVE them and requested them every week from now on! Thank you for the recipe!!
These were very good. I made them with leftover pasta sauce and hot dog buns. Economical and yummy!
After reading today’s issue of Southern Plate… my mouth is drooling with the cake recipes!… but back to the issue… after reading today’s issue, I just HAD to come here and find the comment from anonymous… if your looking for it too, you have to click on the “older” comments.
I won’t condemn anonymous for his/her comments, as he/she was just trying to put others onto a healthier way of eating. Now why would I say that? Well, when I first signed up for Southern Plate, I had some major medical issues, but none involving cholesterol or heart problems or diabetes. But back in February, I was diagnosed with diabetes. For those of you who don’t really know this disease, it’s one of the WORST FRICKIN THINGS TO GET. You have to not only stab yourself for blood up to 5+ times a day to test your glucose (sugar) levels, but you have to change your whole way of eating. Meaning… everything you love to eat is either off your menu list or you can have it, but in the tiniest teeniest portion, like only being able to have 1/2 a serving of a SMALL French fry, or 1/2 of a hamburger bun, etc. Who can eat 1/2 of a SMALL ORDER OF FRIES? I can’t, so now I just don’t have them. Your doctor normally sends you to a NUTRITIONIST AND A DIABETIC NURSE, where you are then instructed on how to EAT HEALTH SO AS NOT TO HAVE SOME OF YOUR LIMBS CUT OFF OR DIE.
I don’t want any limbs cut off and I just had my 1st grandchild, so I don’t want to die either… so now I watch every morsel put into my mouth. Why did I become diabetic? It could be a “gene” thing passed on from family, but my personal belief is that it is because I ate anything I wanted to eat at any time. I put on 45 pounds doing that over a 10 year period. But now that I’ve lost weight by watching what I eat, my blood sugar levels are becoming more normal. Will I ever be free of diabetes? NO! ONCE A DIABETIC, ALWAYS A DIABETIC.
So even though I really shouldn’t eat most of what is published here, I can eat it but in the smallest of small portions. I have learned PORTION CONTROL. Instead of pigging out & eating an entire dessert in 2 – 3 days, I now make that dessert last me a week or more.
So as to anonymous, I agree, yet disagree, but none of us should condemn he/she. My diabetes has shown me that. I wish no ill health concerns on any one. If your healthy now but eat like a pig, or don’t care about what your eating, you’ll pay for it in the end. The question is, IS IT WORTH IT? Enjoy the recipes here, BUT IN MODERATION! And for your children’s sake, keep all of this info in mind. No one should wish any health problems on their children, so by teaching yourself and your children how to eat healthy, you will ALL be healthy. (my friends daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes at age 12… she died at age 16 and now I understand what she went through)
POINT: What we eat now can kill us later. Make the recipes here, but substitute some ingredients with healthier stuff, such as I now don’t buy sugar, I buy Splenda which tastes just like sugar but which is so much more expensive, but that’s my fault for giving myself diabetes.
Christy, don’t be mad at me or anonymous for our comments. Maybe anonymous is like me… healthy at first, but ate foods that contributed to something like heart disease or diabetes. I not only subscribe to Southern Plate, but to numerous other food websites, including ones for diabetics that shows us how to convert a recipe such as some here at this website, to healthier versions for us diabetics. But I honestly think you don’t want to hear that. Sorry, no offense is sent your way, but I do see a resentment in your words in your articles for those who make any attempt to mention how un-healthy a recipe of yours maybe. If I didn’t want your newsletters, I’d unsubscribe, but I haven’t, because I’ve learned how to convert your recipes into healthier ones for myself and my family and friends. And honestly, healthier substitutes make the recipe taste just as good. So Southern Plate can not only have delicious recipes, but healthy ones, for those of us who care about our bodies. Going to go slap myself now for posting this… OUCH.
Hey Mary ,
I was reading a book and checked my comments and saw this one and it took me a minute to figure out where it came from, lol. Then I noticed it was on Pizza rolls and had a lightbulb moment. I decided to open up my computer and respond to you (and also not check my comments anymore when I’m reading a book , lol)
First of all, your comment is nothing like the anonymous one. You’ll note a good level of unkindness there in that one and also something you can’t see but i can (because comments show IP addresses) is that anonymous was a one hit wonder. Showed up, left a nasty comment on the only post they’d read, and left.
Your comment shows clear thought and effort to be kind while making a point you feel personally convicted to make. I respect that and appreciate your kindness and the validity of your points.
I would like to add that I agree wholeheartedly with your moderation as that is how I eat myself and have mentioned a few times on Southern Plate that when I make a dessert, I take out four pieces (one for each of us) and give the rest to neighbors, people at school, church, outside family, etc. Still, some people (not in any way implying you-please know that!) will read today’s post and get it in their head that I’m making six cakes for my family of four to eat this weekend.
I also hope you will check out my posts on “Diet Friendly-er Southern Recipes” where I list that I, actually, don’t eat sugar desserts beyond a bite or two and explain the recipes that I use Splenda in as well. There is also a section in my cookbook where I talk about all of the recipes in the book that are Splenda Friendly. I had to fight to get that in the final published book but did so because it was very important to me personally. I don’t even use sugar in my tea, as I’ve mentioned on the site also.
On the very first recipe I ever posted, I use splenda and talk about it throughout the post http://www.southernplate.com/2008/07/homemade-banana-pudding-tutorial.html
As for you sensing resentment in my words I really hate that you feel that way. It can be often difficult to put as much as I do into a website and offer it free to everyone and then from time to time get a very nasty email attacking me or saying something ugly about my children or family out of the blue (like all mothers, talk about my kids and my teeth come out pretty quick). It would make your hair stand on end the things I’ve received. As a result, I can be defensive or make an attempt to make light of making a dessert on Southern Plate knowing that someone is going to decide I’ve made those six cakes and plan on feeding my children nothing but this entire weekend
. Then that someone will send me an email that is so nasty I honestly don’t think you or I would even be capable of writing such a thing. If not for the grace God has shown me, I would not be able to deal with such matters on a daily basis. (Keep in mind that this website gets over 20 million hits a month so you can imagine the wide variances of nasty people I’ve had to deal with – although I am thrilled to say that I have seen, firsthand, that 90% of the worlds population is made up of really good hearted folks). I appreciate you telling me you were sent here to find the comment based on today’s post. That got me to investigating it and found what sent you here, a comment I made in another post from three years ago. Wow, I’ve come a long way in three years, thank goodness! Had I not, I would have never been able to hang in here. I’m going back to that post now and taking out the line that sent you here. It really was more stinging and hurt feelings than resentment, because back then I let nasty folks get to my heart. Here is the line I just deleted from the Butterfinger Cake Post, made three years ago “You know, it just kills me when folks come to my blog and expect to find health food. Alright, so far only one person has remarked about it and I am certain he/she really needed a life. Still, for entertainment purposes y’all go look at comments under Pizza Rolls.” Nowadays I would have just ignored it, but back then, just two months after i had started blogging, it was very hurtful. Also, back then my blog was read mostly by folks I knew who knew my sense of humor.
If you’ll notice, I never did respond to Anonymous. That came at a time where I was just getting my legs about me with this whole blogging thing and i didn’t know how to respond with grace – so didn’t respond at all. I’m much more used to the occasional negative comment now and still have a policy of handling it with grace or not at all. Please not that I don’t consider someone offering a healthy substitution a negative comment- as long as it is done with kindness.
I work very hard on SouthernPlate.com and I consider it a wonderful blessing and my goal is to love everyone who comes here and show them kindness. Sometimes I am better at that than others but I am so tragically human, like all of us, and will of course fail even when striving not to from time to time.
I’m glad you are taking my recipes and making them your own and I thank you for being a great part of the family and for the obvious care you took in writing your comment
I am also very sorry you are having this struggle with Diabetes. I know it is frightening and my heart and prayers are with you.
Instead of slapping yourself, just go make yourself some sugar free banana pudding or a nice cup of coffee
Your kindness hasn’t offended me
Gratefully,
Christy
Hi Christy, these sound like something my family would love. I was wondering if you had tried freezing them and how well they held up if frozen. Looks to me like everything would. They would make great take-to-work lunches. I may make them and put one in the freezer to try……love your site!!!! I am disabled, but have always loved to cook. It’s not so easy anymore to do sometimes, so quick and easy is what I’m looking for.
Christy,
this sounds like something I would like a lot. I wonder how it would be with browned Italian sausage made like ground meat crumbled? That sounds nice to me. I would like other stuff in it too, like pepperoni, Italian seasoning, with loads of mozzarella, etc.
I am so happy with your Southern Plate. Com. I made your fried pork chops today in the House Autry Hush Puppy seasoning. Yummy! Thanks for sharing such delicious sounding recipes.
Lord bless you and your family,
Linda
I think it would work great using those ingredients Linda!
[...] Pizza Rolls [...]
These were great!! My kids loved them and especially my dh! I had made some homemade pizza sauce yesterday so I used that all up
I also added some sauteed onions and green peppers for me and dh, thanks for a wonderful and super easy recipe!
Okay I made these last night along with the top to bottom ham and cheese sandwhiches for a UFC party, and I must say, “WOW!” They were delicious. I did fancy them up a little bit though. I added a lot of garlic to the ground beef while it was browning; I added a touch of sugar to the final pizza sauce (I like my Italian sauces a little on the sweet side); I used provolone cheese on the sandwhich and topped it with mozzerella; and finally I added 4 pieces of pepperoni to each sandwhich before filling with the meat; They were so delicious that everybody was asking for the recipe; my family was fighting for the last one in the fridge today (I won.) You’re a goddes, Christy.
Oh goodness, that sounds delicious!! I am so glad everything was such a hit!!
I have tons of hotdog buns but no dogs, I think I’m gonna use those instead, free up some freezer space!
Just made these tonight and they are a big hit! I used wheat bread, ground turkey and added mushrooms, peppers and onions to the meat sauce. I toasted the bread and then broiled a bit to melt the cheese. Mmmmm, mmmm they were so good!!
I love the recipes here and it’s like anything else – you can make some changes to make them healthier! There is no reason to be rude and condescending and make assumptions about your family. Change the recipe to be healthier (I do it with yours all the time and they turn out great!) and if you don’t have something nice to say, just shut up.
I see you used CobbleStone Mill buns here and I’m a great fan of theirs. Since my husband has passed away and I only cook for myself, most of the time, I buy a pkg. of their buns, take out what I need, put the others back in the pkg. and freeze them. I can go to the freezer, thaw them out a month later and they will still be fresh and soft. Can’t do that with other brands, so I always buy them. Now I want to fix these pizza rolls. They are something I could do for myself.
I hope you like them Jean, let me know after you try them. I also like CobbleStone Mill, for the same reasons you do!!
Made these tonight for my son’s Bible study group at our church…the 20 and 30 something’s…they were such a hit! I cook for this group every Wednesday night and this was one of the easiest recipes I’ve used for a large group in a while. I did part with just your basic recipe, just adding pepperoni and then a bunch adding peppers, onions, and black olives. I will definitely use this again!
I have been making these for years…..if you use the canned Chef boy R dee pizza sauce with cheese….it really makes the recipe!!
I’ve made these twice now and am officially the best mom ever according to my kids. However, instead of the sub rolls, I used 2 plus packages of hotdog buns. They seem to work better for smaller (2 and 4 year old) hands. Plus my older 2 are on ADHD meds, so they eat like anorexic girls. For 6 of us (hubby, my dad, 4 kids), I made enough for 3 nights without doubling! Yay! Plus this should work nicely for Boy Scout camp outs.
Great idea using the hotdog buns!!!
Had these last night. The kids and husband just loved them. I used Italian Hoagie rolls and tried the 15 mins in the oven and also zapped some in the microwave. Either way, deliciousness! Struck another home run with one of your recipes. Where have you been all my life? Really, the recipes on here are so great. The thing I love is as you said, most of the ingredients are already in your home. If you’re a working mom like me and don’t have time to plan and organize (or you’re just not inclined in that direction), this website is a godsend. Seriously, I am amazed by how my family has loved everything I have tried thus far. Thanks again, Christy.
I think even my son would eat these! Will make some this weekend and freeze.
Christy, try adding a little oregano right before you warm them..I put it on top of the cheese…just a little….
Oh Yummy!! Will definitely try it!
Thank you thank you. I am going to make some of these up, and freeze them.. Some days I am so tired I hate the thought of cooking, so it will be Pizza Night for me!!! these will be a big hit, thanks again Christy..
BTW
your Taco soup recipe was a Hit I even gave some to my neighbor, she has the pickest little girl you ever saw! She loved it asked me to make it again, and so I did.. thank you
Barbara Walch
these look delicious–ingredients are def. going on my grocery list. My 15 yr old daughter doesn’t eat beef–do u have any easy chicken sandwich recipes? She is a busy athelete and seems to never be able to eat with the rest of us
