To me, pizza egg rolls make the perfect snack, but you can have them for dinner or lunch if you would like. I mean, we do often have pizza for dinner, right? So why not pizza-themed egg rolls!
They are great for kids because they are easy to handle and very yummy. Plus, they are filled with far better ingredients that store-bought pizza rolls.
Check out what a happy reviewer over at Group Recipes had to say about these pizza egg rolls:
“These were really great. I didn’t have green pepper in the house, so I used 1/2 cup diced onion instead.”
You can literally substitute any veggie in these rolls that you want. As you can see, our happy reviewer used onions instead of green peppers. This recipe is very versatile.
