Easy Homemade Pizza Rolls Recipe
This week I am in full Super Bowl prep mode. I’m not hosting a huge party or anything crazy like that…I’m just seriously into Super Bowl snacks! And pizza is a major no-brainer when it comes to Game Day grub. So I decided today to roll up the average slice, add in some Johnsonville sausage and bake it in a skillet. Crazy fun and totally delicious.

Pizza shape-shifting. I’m into it. Like I said, I added in some Johnsonville Sausage to make this extra delicious. I love a sausage pie and it just made complete sense to use it in these Pizza Rolls. It’s super convenient and browns up in just minutes. Plus, it adds tons of flavor with minimal prep. As the leader in sausage, Johnsonville is searching for the best recipes to add to their official book of Game Day recipes and has turned their quest into an all-out sausage recipe reality show competition, The Sausage Dome, where contestants from all around America pitch their Game Day grub to six real-life Johnsonville employees also known as “The Sausage Six.” You can view the latest episodes and find the best sausage recipes for your own game day spread HERE!
How to Make Homemade Pizza Rolls in a Skillet
The recipe is super easy. Just brown your sausage first. Let it cool for a few minutes after you cook it. I like to do this because if you add warm sausage onto the pizza dough, the dough tends to be a little harder to roll up, ripping more easily. If it’s closer to room temperature it won’t heat the dough as your rolling it, and just be generally easier to handle. Gather your additional toppings. I use pizza sauce, some crushed red pepper, mozzarella cheese, sliced black olives, and fresh basil. You could get creative and use different types of cheeses, or spices too! Next grab a can of pizza dough. I find this is the easiest method for this recipe, because the dough is already in a rectangular shape. You can certainly use homemade dough, or a ball of pizza dough, just roll it out into a rectangle. Top it with the sauce, leaving about an inch at the edge so it doesn’t squeeze out when rolling it up. Then add your cooled sausage. Next cheese… And then the olives and basil… Roll the pizza “jelly roll” style using the long edge and then slice it into 8 pieces. It will get a little messy at this stage, but trust me, don’t worry! Do your best and place each piece into an oiled cast iron skillet. Bake them up for 25-30 minutes… Aren’t they fun?! And then dig in, of course!! These have quickly become a family favorite!
