Try This: Easy Pizza Rolls August 16, 2007

Tried this one night in a desperation to find something for dinner and to have felt like I at least partially “made it” instead of purchasing and to use up the goodies in the fridge.  My kids now love it – who knew?

Start with refrigerated crescent rolls in the can.  You really can’t go wrong that way.

Sprinkle your pan with Parmesan cheese and remember, I must always recommend a Pampered Chef Stone for baking (yes, you can order one from me .  But enough of that, sprinkle whatever pan you are using.  Separate the rolls into their triangles and press both sides into the cheese to cover.

Next, take some string cheese and cut the sticks into 1/2 or 1/3, depending upon your cheesy preference.  Place that cheese in the middle of the crescent triangle and roll it up like usual, except also pinch the sides up to keep the melted cheese from running out.  This is where you can get creative and stick in some veggies (my kids wouldn’t stand for it), pepperoni (one kid loved it that way), and garlic or Italian seasoning for a stronger taste.

Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  By the time they brown nicely, the cheese inside will be perfect.  Serve with warm pizza sauce.  Add a fruit and or veggie and a big glass of milk and  you’ve got a semi-balanced, kid-friendly meal.

Enjoy!
