These oven baked 5-ingredient beef pizza roll ups were born out of one of those “I have 20 minutes and hungry people staring at me” weeknights. They’re basically all the best parts of pizza—cheesy, saucy, beefy goodness—rolled up into handheld spirals that bake up with crisp, browned seams and melty cheese peeking out the ends. Think of them as a cross between a pizza roll and a baked sub, but way easier and made on a single sheet pan. This is the kind of recipe you keep in your back pocket for busy evenings, game days, or when you just want something fun and comforting without a ton of prep or dishes.
These beef pizza roll ups are pretty much a meal on their own, but I like to round things out with a simple side salad—mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a quick vinaigrette to balance the richness. They’re also great with a side of carrot sticks or sliced cucumbers if you’re feeding kids and want something crunchy on the plate. If you’re making them for a game night spread, add a bowl of extra warm pizza sauce or marinara for dipping, plus some garlic knots or roasted veggies. And if you’re really leaning into pizza night, pair them with a quick Caesar salad and some sparkling water or your favorite light beer.
