What it is

To prepare, place the frozen rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. For a crispier texture, you can bake them a minute or two longer. They can also be prepared in an air fryer according to manufacturer instructions. Allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional pizza rolls that typically contain tomato sauce and cheese, these feature a creamy macaroni and cheese filling with added bacon. This creates a distinct flavor profile that is richer and more reminiscent of a comfort food dish, rather than a classic pizza taste.
Who it is for
These are enjoyed by families and individuals looking for a convenient and flavorful snack option.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining pizza rolls frozen in their original packaging. Ensure the package is tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn. Store them in the freezer until ready to prepare. Do not refreeze if thawed.
