" Our family just loves my husband's version of store-bought pizza rolls. They take some time to make, but they freeze well so we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor for a long time!" —Meg Hommer, Normal, Illinois

Ingredients

• 4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
• 2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni, chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 jars (14 ounces each) pizza sauce
• 32 egg roll wrappers
• Oil for frying
• Additional pizza sauce for dipping, warmed, optional

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion. Stir in pizza sauce until combined. Place about 1/4 cup filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water and roll up tightly to seal.
2. In a Dutch oven or deep cast-iron skillet, heat 1-2 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pizza rolls until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. If desired, serve with additional pizza sauce.
