Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until it's no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to ensure your Pepperoni Pizza Rolls won't become soggy. Aim for a nice, brown color on the beef.
- Stir in 1 cup of coarsely chopped pepperoni along with a sprinkle of onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of crushed tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, mixing well. Allow the filling to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Lay out each burrito-style wrap and evenly distribute 3-4 tablespoons of the beef-pepperoni mixture down the center. Sprinkle with a generous handful of low-fat mozzarella cheese and drizzle a bit of hot sauce if desired. Roll tightly and seal with water.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the filled rolls seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, allow the Pepperoni Pizza Rolls to cool for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces. Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes
Ensure you fully drain cooked beef to avoid soggy rolls. Don't overfill to make rolling easier.
