  • Homemade Pizza Rolls
  • Ingredients
    • 4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese
    • 1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
    • 2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni, chopped
    • 1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
    • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
    • 2 jars (14 ounces each) pizza sauce
    • 32 egg roll wrappers
    • Oil for frying
    • Additional pizza sauce for dipping, warmed, optional
  • Directions
    • In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion. Stir in pizza sauce until combined. Place about 1/4 cup filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water and roll up tightly to seal. In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pizza rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with additional pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 32 rolls. Also good with leftover rotisserie chicken, provolone, buffalo sauce with blue cheese dipping sauce. These freeze well!  Suggested to assemble then freeze “raw”... not sure how they would freeze pre-cooked.

Things to Do in Amateur Radio This Weekend
  • North American QSO Party CW runs from Saturday at 1800z to Sunday at 0559z.  This is a low power contest, meaning the maximum power you can operate and qualify for a class is 100 watts.  The exchange is simple, just your name and state/province.  If CW isn't your game, checkout this one when they do the SSB or RTTY modes.
  • NI6IW will be the callsign for the USS Midway Museum Ship Special Event: Desert Storm Kickoff on Saturday from 1700z to 2359z.
  • K2BSA/6 will be active on Saturday during daylight hours at Polar Camp in Idlywild, CA.
