How To Make 5-Ingredient Beef Pizza Roll-Ups:

Step 1: Prep and Brown: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a skillet, brown the ground beef for 6/8 minutes until no longer pink. Drain the grease, then stir in 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce. Let it cool slightly.

Tip: Don’t skip the cooling step! If you put piping hot beef directly onto raw dough, it will start to melt the fats in the dough, making it soggy and difficult to roll.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the pizza dough onto a floured surface and gently stretch it into a 12×8-inch rectangle.

Step 3: Layer the Fillings: Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle on the mozzarella, then scatter the beef mixture evenly over the cheese.

Step 4: Roll and Slice: Starting from a long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and turn it seam-side down. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8 equal pieces. If they “squish” a bit, just nudge them back into a circle.

Step 5: Bake: Place the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake for 15/18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 6: Set and Serve: Let them rest for 5 minutes so the cheese firms up enough to hold the roll together. Serve with extra sauce for dipping!
