Cheese and Bacon Sausage Rolls

Chef promises one of the best tasting sausage rolls you ever ate.

Makes a great lunch, dinner or cut small pieces for snacks. Fun for kids to make or to impress people. I make a batch of these and freeze most of it, only cooking enough to eat.

Delicious and easy to make, you won't let your taste buds down.

They can be cooked from frozen. Puff pastry is hard to make, so I recommend buying it from your local grocery store. I use Chefs Bestest BBQ Sauce for extra flavour but your favourite store bought BBQ sauce is ok.

DIRECTIONS

Dice the onion and bacon. Dice the cheese to 1 centimetre cubes. Add them into a bowl with the sausage mince. Roughly chop the thyme, oregano and rosemary, it's ok to use dry oregano, rosemary and thyme. Add the herbs, paprika, allspice, onion powder, garlic powder, tomato sauce and Chefs Bestest BBQ Sauce in the bowl with the onion bacon cheese and sausage mince.

Mix well, so it's all mixed in, and it infuses the sauces and spices in the meat. Place mixture evenly on your puff pastry like the picture leaving a gap of pastry. Roll it like the picture using the plastic so you can roll it tight and evenly without touching the pastry with your hands.

Roll until it is like the picture then cut along the side of the sausage roll cutting the excess pasty off then roll it up in the plastic firmly. Cut into the sizes you want them. You can freeze what you don't want to use. To freeze them sit them on a tray separately so they don't freeze together then place them all in a bag once frozen. I keep them in the plastic to freeze, it’s also easier to cut them to size. Make sure you take the plastic off before cooking.

Break one egg in a bowl and whisk so it's combined. You can also use milk. Get a basting brush and brush on some egg wash or milk on top of the sausage rolls. Cook on 180 Celsius until the tops of the pastry are golden brown... Enjoy!
