👩🍳Pepperoni Pizza Cresent Rolls
My family loves pepperoni, but if one of your family members doesn't, you can easily replace the pepperoni with your favorite pizza toppings.
Crumbled Italian sausage would be delicious wrapped up in the crescent rolls. You could also add mushrooms, green or red peppers to add a different flavor as well.
