CHEESY SAUSAGE ROLLS

This recipe comes from a very old cookery book from the Milk Marketing Board that used to belong to my mother.

One of our family favourites when I was young and now a staple for summer picnics and lunches with a simple salad. I usually make one big long sausage roll that always looks spectacular served in slices but I made these smaller ones for a small gathering at Christmas and they were gone in a flash.

They are really worth the extra effort as they are so tasty, a million miles away from a bought sausage roll and guaranteed to raise a few eyebrows among home made sausage roll enthusiasts.

I used a ready rolled sheet of puff pastry, not because I am lazy but because that’s what was in the freezer, probably bought when it was on special offer.

Good quality sausagemeat is not usually not too hard to find in the festive season but can be a little more difficult to source for the rest of the year unless you have a good butcher near you. I buy good quality sausages and take the skins off, it doesn’t take long if you split the sausage lengthways with a sharp knife and just peel it off.

I do all the mixing and chopping in the food processor. First whizz the breadcrumbs, then chop the onions, then add the rest of the filling ingredients and quickly blitz together. Takes a couple of minutes max. Easy peasy.

These are good served warm or cold. They can be frozen cooked or raw (although not if you have used frozen pastry or frozen sausagemeat.)

Really, really delicious. Please leave your comments if you have a go making them and tell me what you think.

      This makes a lovely summer lunch if you make one big long roll. If you make it let me know what you think.

        I made these cheesy sausage rolls to take to a picnic lunch two weeks ago. In all honesty they are the best 5* sausage rolls ever……..everyone thinks I’m a super cook, thanks to Lindsey! They are top of our ‘favourites’ list, if you don’t believe me – make them and you will see yourself!

    Love these sausage rolls and now coming up to Christmas I’ve been asked by lots of the family for some. I’ve also been asked to add some with cranberry sauce or Apple sauce..
    Thank you Lindsey..
