Pizza Lasagna Rolls

My kids HATE lasagna, but they LOVE pizza. I thought I could combine the two, and make something we all like. The fact that this doesn't look like lasagna, is an added bonus because I don't have to work as hard to talk them into eating it.

The pepperoni is really where you get the pizza flavor. I love these. It's a change from the norm, yet super simple and super fast to make. You can even make it ahead of time, toss it in the fridge or freezer, and just bake when you're ready to eat!

If you like veggies on your pizza, you can dice them really small, and add them to the cheese mixture. I didn't go that far yet. . .I gotta work the kids up to that one.
