5-Ingredient Beef Pizza Roll-Ups

Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Cook the Beef
Heat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef for about 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart, until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat, then mix in ¼ cup of the pizza sauce. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Tip: Letting the beef cool helps prevent the dough from becoming soft and difficult to handle.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough
Place the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Gently press and stretch it into a rectangle approximately 12×8 inches.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
Spread the remaining ½ cup of pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch edge around the border. Top with shredded mozzarella, then distribute the beef mixture evenly across the surface.

Step 4: Roll and Cut
Starting along the longer edge, roll the dough up tightly into a log shape. Pinch the seam to secure and position it seam-side down. Slice into 8 even rounds, reshaping slightly if needed.

Step 5: Bake
Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 6: Cool and Serve
Allow the rolls to rest for about 5 minutes so the cheese can set. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
