Only three ingredients in this quick and easy Sausage Roll make it quick, easy and always a crowd-pleaser!
All the boys in my house love breakfast. It’s a big occasion on Saturday morning. But, they also request ‘breakfast’ for dinner during the week. This is a blue-ribbon crowd pleaser in my house day or night. Use it for breakfast, dinner or it also is a great tailgating recipe.
Using pre-made pizza crust makes this Sausage Roll super convenient. I like to stock my pantry with pizza crust, crescent rolls etc so that in a pinch I can put a meal together for my family on short notice. I hate being out of an item and I hate having to get fast food when I have quick and easy meals right at my fingertips. Or, at least, I can have quick meals at my fingertips if I plan a little and keep my kitchen stocked.
The second ingredient in the Sausage Roll is cheese. Now you’ll see I used cheddar (yellow) in the pictures below, I didn’t have any cheddar so I used pepper jack cheese in the photos above. Use whatever cheese you have on hand or that you like. I prefer a mild cheddar, but I sure wasn’t running to the store at 6:00 a.m. today to get cheese.
Lastly, you need sausage for a Sausage Roll. I like a mild breakfast sausage. I prefer the traditional seasoning not a sage or maple sausage for this recipe.
Not only is this quick and easy, it’s very tasty. Crusty on the outside, spicy from the sausage and creamy with cheese on the inside.

No, the bread doesn’t do correctly when frozen.

Lori says
We use mozzarella or Parmesan cheese and don’t forget to use barbecue sauce on the side.
Ruth says
I made the Pecan Pie Bread Pudding and was disappointed in it. Oh it was rich and good just no pecan pie to it, just sweet! Any way we could get some of the gooey part of the pie into this dish? All I had was sugar and nuts. very sweet! I will try the Pecan Cobbler next it looks like it has the gooey part!
Sharon says
When I make this I add gravy and scrambled eggs. YUM!!!

Simpicicity is the attraction
Jill says
My family loved this! I wonder if you could make it into a pizza roll for dinner? I wonder if I added pizza sauce if it would be good? Anyone tried it?
Paula says
I actually have added pizza sauce and pepperoni and it’s fabulous. I tried to pinch the ends together tighter so the sauce didn’t come out. I’m not a fan of veggies in my pizza, but if you are onions and bell peppers would be good too. I’m glad you liked it.

Pork? Cheese? Pizza dough? Heaven? I think so 🙂 Pinning!

Sausage roll – a real favourite for morning teas here in NZ – suspect you shouldn't eat them every day though!. Thanks for linking in. Cheers
