  1. My family loves Sister Schubert’s frozen dinner rolls. This recipe looks very yummy. I am going to get the stuff to try. Thank you for the inspiration!

  2. Hi there…this looks so yummy!!! I have been looking for recipes to make and freeze for my son after he left for college…..(so he can just reheat and eat) Do you think this would freeze well?? or no?? Has anyone ever tried that?

    1. Hi Kristine, you’re a great Mom! I haven’t tested freezing these Pizza rolls however, my guess is it would work. Also, things like soups, stews, casseroles, chili, spaghetti sauce and pasta also freeze well. You can even freeze breakfast burritos for breakfast on the go. I hope he has a great year.

    2. Kristine, please let us know if you decide to freeze them, and how they turn out. I love to meal prep and was hoping that these would do well frozen and rethawed.

  3. Thank you.. I am looking forward to making this. My daughter is hosting a sleepover and I thought this would be a fun dish.

  4. Made this last night, added fresh mushrooms when I was preparing the meat, I think you could easily add your favorite pizza ingredients as long as you can pile it all onto the cheese layer. I have pinned this, we did love it, the rolls did have sweetness that I could do without, I had never purchased them before so I was surprised that they were slightly sweet Parker House style rolls, they were more like Hawaiian style rolls to me.

  5. I have a dumb question, do you use a regular pizza pan or do you use a pan that you would use for a deep dish pizza? This looks sooo good! Thank You!

  6. I just wanted to say that I couldn’t wait top make these. I went to the store and bought everything I needed a couple days ago and I tried to make them tonight and I’m so disappointed. The rolls completely fell apart then I tried to cut them in half. I thought maybe I did it wrong but it did the same on the second package. How did you keep them together?

    1. Hmmm, Gerrie sorry you had an issue with them. You may try cutting them in half while they’re still partially frozen. You can still assemble the ones you have the cheese should act as a glue hiding them together. Just arrange on a serving platter in a circle after baking.

      1. I seriously think that something is wrong with the rolls. Maybe they are old…it’s like they are falling apart. I will say that we took the rest of the ingredients and mixed them with 2 rolls of biscuits that we cut in 1/4’s …not the same but it was still yummy!

      2. Hi Gerrie, it could have been wow that’s too bad. I suppose if they were dry they could fall apart. So happy to hear you were able to salvage your efforts, great job!

    1. I usually follow the separation on the top of the rolls to cut apart. As long as you didn’t cut the bottom piece too thin, the cheese will hold it together if you don’t get it lined up perfectly.

  7. I live in Canada and don’t have access to these rolls. We do have frozen dough balls we use at Xmas time for the Land of Nod Cinnamon Buns, do you think these would work? They do seem smaller but I guess you would use more? Sure looks good!

    Thanks, Cathy

    1. Hi Cathy, since I’m not familiar with that product it’s difficult to answer. I would imagine any similar product would work, unfortunately I can’t tell you for sure about that particular kind. Let me know if you try it just in case some of my other Canadian friends are needing a good substitution as well.

  8. What a sweet note Lindy, thanks so much. I’m delighted you’re finding some dishes to share with your family. These rolls are so good I hope you all enjoy them!

  9. Melissa, I’m a fan and just had to let you know I love a lot of your recipes. I’m not big on commenting but had to on this one; my family is going to LOVE this, ALL of them. Lady you’ve got a winner here. Bless your heart for sharing it with us.
    Another Sister From The South,
