Homemade Pizza Rolls

What a relaxing weekend.  It’s been two crazy long weeks and no real end in site, so we took it easy this weekend.  And as usual, Sunday = Football.  We had some friends over to watch the games all day, but nothing really out of control or that needed much to-do.  I made a vat of my infamous chili (I’ll save that for another post), but have no shame and tried one new recipe:  Homemade Pizza Rolls.

You never know what will happen when you try a new recipe, especially when you have people over, but I took the chance.  Why not, right?  Right!  These were a hit.  So easy, so hot and gooey, so delicious.  No need for those boxed ones… try these!

Homemade Pizza Rolls

Homemade Pizza Rolls

What You Need:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 bell pepper, diced fine
• 1 small onion, diced fine
• 2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 c shredded mozzarella
• Cooking spray
• 1 package wonton wrappers (about 48 wraps)

How You Do It:

1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until hot. Add in garlic, green pepper and onion. Cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in marinara and mozzarella.
2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling into the middle of each wonton wrapper. Using a finger dipped in water, run along the edge of each wrapper and then fold wrapper in half and press down to seal. Continue until baking sheet is filled with pizza rolls (spaced about 1" apart).
3. Spray tops with cooking spray and bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until rolls are golden and crispy.
4. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving (filling will be hot).
