These savory sausage rolls are the British version of pigs in a blanket. Don’t be fooled by the name though, British sausage is not the same as Italian sausage. Itis minced pork with seasoning and bread crumbs. The bread crumbs hold onto the fat and keep the sausage juicy.
I find the seasoning of these reminisate to a sausage stuffing found at Thanksgiving time.
In the sausage you can either use sauteed onions or onion powder depending on the texture you want.
Some popular dipping sauces are ketchup or brown gravy.
This recipe makes 8 sausage rolls that are 2″ thick.
