These tasty meat sensations quickly disappeared as I pulled them from the oven. My kids and the adults were both grabbing for seconds.

1/3 cup finely chopped carrots 1/3 cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup finely chopped green pepper 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1/2 pound ground sirloin 1/2 cup tomato sauce 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves 1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese 9 egg roll wrappers

In a non-stick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, saut� the carrots, onion, green pepper, and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat until tender. Add the sirloin, cooking until browned. Remove from heat and stir in tomato sauce, oregano, basil, and mozzarella cheese. Place about 2 tablespoons in the middle of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the lower bottom third up, fold the 2 sides toward the center, and then roll up.

To Prepare and Eat Now: Preheat oven to 425�F. Place pizza rolls on a nonstick baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 9 minutes, turn the rolls over and continue baking for another 4 to 6 minutes or until crispy and browned. Cut each roll in half and serve.

To Freeze: Do not bake prepared rolls and freeze on baking sheet, then transfer to freezer zip top bags, label, and freeze.

To Prepare After Freezing: Preheat oven to 425�F. Remove rolls directly from the freezer and place on a nonstick baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, turn the rolls over and continue baking for another 5 to 6 minutes or until crispy and browned. Cut each roll in half and serve.
