Cream Cheese Pepperoni Rolls Ingredients
These yummy pizza-esque roll ups come together with 6 simple and affordable ingredients:
Pepperoni: Easily grab your favorite pre-sliced variety or head to your local deli for some fresh, deli-sliced pepperoni.
Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese is going to work best for this recipe!
Garlic Powder: This recipe relies on pizza-like flavors. Garlic powder is a must!
Onion Powder: Onion powder is another must for bringing out that pizza flavor.
Italian Seasoning: Italian seasoning is the most important seasoning here to really bring out that pizza-ness!
Mozzarella Cheese: The pizza classic; mozzarella! Stuff it in there.
Substitutions and Variations for Pepperoni Roll Ups
Personally, I like how simple this recipe is without subs and variations, however, you can easily make it your own with the following suggestions:
- Swap out the pepperoni for some salami. Same pizza-ish flavor but with a bit of an Italian bite!
- Change out the cheese. Mozzarella is the best IMO, however, you could easily add in some shredded Parmesan or shredded Provolone to add even more flavor.
- Bake them up. This recipe simply calls for a chill in the fridge, but you could also air fry them for 5 minutes to crisp them up!
