[VanBurren]

PIZZA EGG ROLLS

1 lb bulk Italian sausage

3/4 cup diced green pepper

1 garlic clove, minced

1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes

1/4 cup tomato paste

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp sugar

1/8 tsp dried rosemary, crushed

Dash pepper

1 block (8oz) part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

13 egg roll wrappers

1 egg, lightly beaten

Oil for frying

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.  Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste and seasonings.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.  Uncover and simmer 10 minutes longer.  Remove from the heat; cool for 20 minutes.  Stir in cheese.

Place 1/3 cup sausage mixture in the center of each egg roll wrapper.  Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling.  Brush remaining corner with egg; roll up tightly to seal.

In an electric skillet or a deep-fat fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees.  Fry egg rolls in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.
