But there's just so much food and so little time.
Don't I sound like Ben from the Bachelor if he were living in a mansion with girls made out of food?
Okay...maybe that was a stretch.
I don't know how you couldn't feel a "connection" with these Pepperoni String Cheese Rollups. They're almost like these Pizza Rolls or these Stuffed Pizza Rolls, but definitely the easiest of all of them. I made these for my kids in under five minutes.
But they aren't just for kids...I'm thinking Super Bowl grub for sure. The Garlic Butter Glaze on top is definitely not a necessity but if you are serving them for adults it adds some flavor and makes them look a little nicer.
And yes, I'm completely ignoring the fact that TGWAE now has over 20,000 facebook fans. That's just crazy. Because really people, I'm posting about rolling premade dough, pepperoni, and cheese sticks being rolled up and baked. How hard is that?
And now I have to do another giveaway...because you all are so nice.
Not today. But soon...
Look at that cheesy goodness!

Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
4 cheese sticks, halved
1 (3.5 ounce) package sliced pepperoni

Garlic Butter Glaze:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take each triangle of crencent roll dough and place about 6 pepperoni on the bottom of the triangle. Place half of a cheese stick on top and roll up. Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.
While rolls are cooking, combine the melted butter, Italian seasonings, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
When rolls are done remove from the oven and brush with the garlic butter glaze. Serve with marinara or ranch for dipping.
WE love anything pizza around here!! Definitely "pinning" these to make for the Super Bowl!!
Oh yum. I've made Pizza Rolls and they are delicious, but time comsuming. These look much easier. Thanks!
I made these for our New Years eve party! They were a huge hit! I've been saving to post them next week for super bowl appetizers too! :)
Congrats on having so many fans! I think it is well deserving :-). Love these rolls too.
what a cute recipe - this might be made for my super bowl party!
Just about anything would taste delicious when rolled up in crescent dough! Love these!
I saw these on the same blog you did, only I've never made them with the garlic butter. I bet that just takes it over the top. I particularly like this recipe as aside from turning the oven on, and opening the crescent tube, my 6 yr old can make these herself! Awesome.
This is one of the best flavor combinations EVAH so you just can't go wrong! xoxo
I love cheese!! totally yummy!!!
Congrats on all of the followers! These look delicious and so easy.
These look delicious and so easy! Wish I could come up with these ideas on my own. :)

YUM!!! this looks so delish!!! i asume these will be a great snack to make freeze and put them in the luch bag letting them warm up through out the day!! thanks for sharing, love it!
love K
Ben has lost his mind! I am going to have to try these with FAST EASY BREAD dough! Thanks for always giving me new stuff to try.
I just made these!! Two batches, one with pepperoni, one with pepperoni and beef bits, and they were a great success! Everyone in my family loved them and are begging me to make more soon, so thank you for this! <3
Hey these look great and I plan on making them tonight for my son! But I was just wondering do you use the regular size crescent roll dough or the GRAND size dough?? Please someone help me! haha
I'm totally loving these! And I already feel a connection to them! :)
I'm not based in the US... are crescent rolls the same things "roughly" as croissants? Or are they more "bready"? These look great and I'm eager to try them... but just wondered if the croissant-type pastry would work or maybe be a bit too flaky... Any ideas/tips? Love love love this site... I just made your S'mores cookies last night... and about to make the apple muffins. You are not helping my waistline at all... but everything looks incredible! hehe! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! I just made your recipe last night and it was delicious! I just posted it on my blog, feel free to visit.
Regards!

We eat a lot of pizza in our house. My kids loved this version... quick, easy and delicious!
Um. Major hit in my house of little boys!
In fact, straight from my son, "these are so delicious mom. Even better than spaghetti!"
@jacena, I used regular crescent dough but you could use grands just stuff them with more pepperoni and maybe a whole cheese stick cut in half.
@vicki, crescent rolls are definitely more bready than croissants. Im sure any bread dough would work.
OK how come this chick does not weigh 400#. I'm jealous! LOL But I love your recipes!
Christy, I found your recipe on Pintrest, and just took a batch out of the oven during half time of the Super Bowl. My daughter and I made them, and added a bit more garlic powder than your recipe called for. They were yummy! Thanks so much for sharing -- can't wait to share this success with my friends. :)

I just made these tonight. I tucked in a few more pieces of pepperoni than you instructed, lol. Oh my, they were quite scrumptious. The garlic butter glaze takes them to a whole other level. I will definitely make these again!
I saw this on pinterest and made them WW style- low fat crescent dough, turkey pepperoni, and low-fat string cheese. The were DELISH I can't even imagine what the full-fat version would taste like! Great recipe!
This WV girl grew up eating pepperoni rolls. I always used frozen dough balls when making them at home...in particular, Texas rolls. Never can find them in the UK, but have used a bread dough mix which worked out. Need our oven repaired so I can make lots of yummy things!
Made theses twice, and loved them!
Here in WV, we have the fabled "Pepperoni Roll," which has been around for a loooong time. It is basically a palm-sized (or bigger) roll that is formed around a stick of pepperoni, or lots of slices all bunched together. It can have cheese or not. And it's very, very greasy. Legend is, they were invented as a convenient "meal" for miners to take into the coal mines with them. FYI...did you know most states except for WV have laws against selling meat baked inside of bread? That is why you can't find them anywhere but here! That said...your little rolls, while not really healthy, are probably better than what I grew up with, haha!
