Pepperoni Pizza Lasagna Roll-Ups image

Tastes like pizza, looks like manicotti and everyone loves it! It works great for teacher meetings and potlucks because it can be made well in advance, reheated as needed, and travels well. It's easier than stuffing filling into manicotti noodles! -Jamie Miller, Maple Grove, Minnesota
