Ingredients for Doritos Pizza Rolls with Beef

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these epic pizza rolls:

• 1 can refrigerated pizza dough – The base that holds all that cheesy goodness together.
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce – To give each roll that classic pizza flavor.
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – Melts beautifully and gives the rolls their gooey, cheesy center.
• 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices – Because what’s pizza without pepperoni?
• 1/2 cup cooked ground beef (seasoned to taste) – Adds hearty, savory flavor to each bite.
• 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos – The crunch factor that takes these pizza rolls over the top!
• 1/4 cup melted butter – Helps the Doritos crumbs stick and adds richness.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder – Adds an extra layer of flavor to the buttery Doritos coating.
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning – Brings a hint of herbaceous goodness to complement the pizza flavors.

How to Make Doritos Pizza Rolls with Beef

Preheat Your Oven

First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper—this ensures that the pizza rolls bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan.

Prepare the Pizza Dough

Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. You want to cut it into small rectangles—think about 2 inches by 3 inches—just the right size to pack in all that delicious filling without being too bulky.

Fill and Roll

Here’s where the magic happens:

1. Spread the Sauce: On each rectangle, spread a small amount of pizza sauce. Not too much, or it might get soggy!
2. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a bit of shredded mozzarella over the sauce for that gooey center we all love.
3. Top with Beef & Pepperoni: Add a few mini pepperoni slices and a spoonful of cooked, seasoned ground beef. You’ll want just enough to give flavor without overstuffing.
4. Roll it Up: Carefully roll up each rectangle, pinching the edges to seal the goodness inside. This prevents any filling from leaking out during baking.

Coat with Crushed Doritos

Now for the fun part—crunch time! In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Gently roll each pizza roll in this mixture until fully coated. The buttery Doritos layer gives these pizza rolls their signature crunch and cheesy flavor.

Bake Until Golden & Crispy

Place the coated pizza rolls on your prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced out so they bake evenly. Pop them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. Trust me, the smell at this point is absolutely irresistible!

Serve & Enjoy

Once out of the oven, let the Doritos pizza rolls cool for a minute or two (if you can resist), then serve them warm. They’re best enjoyed fresh, and if you like a little extra sauce, you can serve them with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.

Serving & Storage

• Serving: These pizza rolls are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even a main dish for a casual meal. Pair them with a side salad or some extra pizza sauce for dipping!
• Storage: If you have leftovers (although that’s a big if!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to get them crispy again.
• Freezing: Want to make these ahead of time? You can! Freeze unbaked pizza rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to the original baking time.

FAQ About Doritos Pizza Rolls with Beef

Can I use other flavors of Doritos?

Absolutely! While Nacho Cheese Doritos are classic, Cool Ranch or Spicy Nacho Doritos would also be incredible.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Of course! Simply leave out the ground beef and pepperoni, and you could even add some sautéed veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions for a veggie-packed version.

How do I keep the pizza rolls from getting soggy?

Make sure not to overdo it with the pizza sauce, and don’t forget to pinch the dough tightly when rolling to prevent leaks.
