My kids love these beef rolls so much. I always make extra since they heat up so quickly. I give the kids their choice of dipping sauces—spaghetti sauce or ranch dressing are the top picks. —Kimberly Farmer, Wichita, Kansas

Ingredients

2 loaves (1 pound each) frozen bread dough
2 pounds ground beef
1 can (8 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Spaghetti sauce, warmed

Directions

Let dough stand at room temperature until softened, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, crumbling the meat, 12-15 minutes; drain. Stir in mushrooms, cheese and seasonings.
Divide each loaf of dough into 10 portions; roll each portion into a 4-in. circle. Top each circle with 1/4 cup filling; bring edges of dough up over filling and pinch to seal.
Place meat pies in greased muffin cups, seam side down. Bake until golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve with spaghetti sauce.
