Pepperoni Cheese Knots

I have a fantastic recipe to share with you today.  I made these for the kids in my family, but the adults went crazy for them too.  These Pepperoni Cheese Knots are really really yummy.  

Big soft and chewy rolls that are stuffed with warm melty cheese and pepperoni.  There is something so satisfying about pulling these cheesy knots apart, dipping them into pizza sauce and devouring them.  I like to sprinkle a little garlic powder over the top for some added flavor, but if your kids don't care for the garlic powder, just leave it off.    

Let me show you how easy these are to make.  

First, get all of your ingredients ready.  You need thawed Rhodes Texas Rolls, pizza sauce, mini pepperoni, shredded cheese, a little melted butter (not pictured) and some garlic powder.  

Combine two Texas rolls and flatten into roughly a 8''x3'' rectangle.  Fill the center with shredded cheese and mini pepperoni. 

Fold up sides and pinch together to seal, cross one side over the other and tie into a knot. 

Place all of the knots on a greased baking sheet.  Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic powder.  Cover lightly with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray and allow to rise for 30 minutes.      

Remove plastic wrap and bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.  

Pull apart and dip into pizza sauce.  Enjoy.
