1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled

1/4 cup sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup banana pepper rings

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry egg roll wrapper pieces in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.

Try adding chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, or red onions for extra flavor.

Use store-bought Alfredo if short on time, but homemade makes it extra special.
