Pizza Egg Rolls

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

Cooking Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2: In a Dutch oven or deep cast-iron skillet, heat 1-2 inches of oil to 375 degrees F.  Fry pizza egg rolls until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side.  Drain on paper towels.  If desired, serve with additional pizza sauce.
