Pizza Roll Ups

1 loaf frozen bread dough (or make your own pizza dough)
1 lb. lean ground beef (or sausage)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. Italian herb seasoning
1 T. chopped fresh parsley
4 cups of your favorite pizza sauce

Thaw dough; roll it into a 14x24 rectangle about 1/4" thick. Brown ground beef; stir in remaining ingredients except pizza sauce. spoon filling evenly onto dough, slightly pressing filling into dough.

Roll dough lengthwise like a jelly roll, and cut into 24- 1" slices. Treat 2 rimmed cookie sheets with nonstick spray; lay slices on sheets about an inch apart. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Let roll-ups sit for 10 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool roll-ups, and freeze in four 1-gallon bags, 6 per bag. Slip a 1-quart bag with 1 cup sauce into each bag of Pizza Roll-Ups.

To prepare for serving: thaw roll-ups and warm them in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Or put them frozen in the microwave; heat on high for about 2 minutes. Serve with warmed pizza sauce.
