Cheesy Beefy Rolls 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Season the Beef: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using). Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
4. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pizza dough. If using store-bought dough, stretch it slightly to make it a bit thinner.
5. Assemble the Rolls: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pizza dough. Then, spread the cooked beef mixture over the cheese. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, creating a long log.
6. Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-2 inch pieces. Place the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each roll for an added cheesy flavor.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
9. Serve: Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired!

Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Beefy Rolls

• Mix It Up: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spices to the beef mixture for added flavor and texture.
• Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella, pepper jack, or provolone to customize the flavor to your liking.
• Make-Ahead Option: These rolls can be assembled and frozen before baking. Just place them on a baking sheet, freeze until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to eat, bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
