A modified take on a kid favorite – pizza – they’re easy to make after work and extracurricular activities to steal a few moments of family time enjoying the cheesy pepperoni goodness before completing homework and beginning preparations for a new day.

Ingredients

  • 1 package slider rolls
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce

Instructions
