This meal got lots of raves from my family!! It's a great variation to the classic pizza hit!!
2 cans fridgerated French bread dough
1 lb lean ground beef
8 oz bag Italian shredded cheese mix
1 jar pizza sauce
Pepperonis
1 Bell Pepper (chopped)
1 small Onion (chopped)
(Optional: Crushed Cooked Bacon, Mushroom Slices, Olives, or any other pizza topping you love)
(Depending on how many cookie sheet pans you have, you may have to make this one at a time or use a different surface method for preparation. Below is how I did it though.)
1 Open dough and carefully unroll it onto 2 large cookie sheets.
2 Brown ground beef with onions and peppers.
3 Preheat oven to 400°F.
4 Spoon sauce onto the dough like making a pizza. Add cheese, pepperonis, and then meat mixture.
5 Roll dough lengthwise like a jelly roll, and cut each roll into 12 slices. (I find that putting the dough into the fridge for about an hour after rolling will help make the cutting part easier.)
6 Spray additional cookie sheets with nonstick spray; lay slices flat on the sheets about 1 inch apart.
7 Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
8 Cool roll-ups, eat 12 for your dinner using some extra sauce to dip, if desired.
9 Freeze 12 in 1 gallon freezer bags, 6 per bag. Slip a 1 quart freezer bag with the leftover sauce into one bag of pizza roll ups.
10 To prepare, thaw roll-ups overnight and warm them in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes or put them frozen in the microwave; heat on high for about 2 minutes.
11 Serve with warmed pizza sauce too, if desired.
As a busy stay-at-home mom of 4, I need God's designed "day of rest" probably more than most! And to help keep our budget from exploding from always eating out (and causing more people to work) on Sundays; I have started a plan of Double-Day Freezer cooking. On a specified day each week, I will plan to cook a double-sized meal and put one of those in the deep freeze to pull out and use on Sunday evenings. This saves me time by cooking once, and feeding twice. And my family still gets a good home cooked meal, without me spending lots of energy on Sunday preparing it.
This blog is my place to share my Double Day Freezer Meal recipes with you, and hopefully give others a day of rest too! :)
