🤍 Recipe Highlights

All of the things that you will come to know and enjoy about this recipe are summarized in the points below. Let me know if you find even more reasons to enjoy the recipe!

• Homemade: somethings taste better homemade and some are fine store bought. Sausage rolls fall into both categories, however, making your own is a fun and rewarding experience.
• Savory filling: using a combination of complimentary flavours, we add as much flavour to the filling we we can.
• Everyday ingredients: each of the ingredients you need to make the recipe are easy to find and readily available. You can keep the ground beef and puff pastry in the freezer until ready to make the recipe.
• Juicy beef filling and flaky puff pastry: there is not too many things that don't taste delicious when encased in crispy, flaky puff pastry. The beef mixture is no different. The filling is juicy and tender and the pastry, crispy and fresh!
• Freezer friendly: these sausage rolls freeze well and reheat to perfection. So you can always have some in the freezer when hunger pains hit but cooking isn't on your agenda! (Reheat and eat!)

🥗 Ingredients

The photo below is everything you need to make the recipe. For exact measurements and detailed how to guide, scroll to the printable recipe card below.

As you can see, the recipe calls for:

• Beef mince: this is the same thing as ground beef. It is budget friendly, freezer friendly and extremely versatile! It forms the basis for our sausage rolls and gets cooked in the oven, not before on the stove.
• Puff pastry: another extremely versatile ingredient that is always handy to have in the freezer. We need for this to thaw so that we can work with it so grab it out of the freezer as a starting point so that when you come to use it, it will be ready.
• Carrot: this is an optional ingredient, however, they compliment the beef flavour very well and are great if you are trying to get more veggies into your or the kid's diets. Peel them and pop them in the food processor to shred or grate with a hand held peeler.
• Dried thyme (sausage roll filling): we add some of this to the sausage roll beef mince mixture and some to the top of the sausage rolls. This ingredient adds flavour and is the perfect compliment to the flavour of the beef.
• Sriracha sauce: this is an optional ingredient, but it is there to add a little bit of heat and spiciness to the sausage rolls. Omit if you wish.
• Salt and pepper: just a little of each is used to season the sausage roll filling.
• Egg: we use 1 egg in the beef mince filling and 1 whisked to seal or brush the top of our pastry prior to baking.
• Dried thyme: this is the dried herb that you can see on top of the sausage rolls. When you brush the egg on, sprinkle these over the top and they will stick very easily! (Scroll to my substitutions and variations for other options to pop on top!).

Serving Suggestions

You will need sauce! Every good sausage roll needs a little dipping and dunking. So grab your favourite be it BBQ, tomato sauce or ketchup.

You can serve with a side salad or make the Gravy Fries if wanting a chips pairing.

How to Guide

How to Store

Store the cooked sausage rolls in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If storing for longer than this, it is recommended to freeze and then reheat the sausage rolls.

How to Freeze

Allow the sausage rolls to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, transfer to an air tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. There is no need to separate with cling film or other as the pastry is cooked, they won't stick together.

How to Reheat

You can reheat the sausage rolls in the oven or air fryer. For both methods, cook from frozen, there is no need to thaw. The air fryer will reheat the sausage rolls faster than the oven due to the smaller cooking space.

If reheating in the air fryer, opt for 15 to 20 minutes and spray the base of the basket or tray with cooking oil.

If reheating in the oven, opt for 20 to 25 mins and use a silicon baking mat on an oven tray.

Substitutions and Variations

As you know, you can do a couple things with all of my recipes to suit yourself a little more in the sense that you may not like the exact same tastes as me. Try any of the following:

• Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the sausage rolls instead of the dried thyme.
• Use pork mince instead of beef mince, but keep everything else the same.
• Instead of using the dried onion, you can use an actual onion.
• Use poppy seeds on top of the sausage rolls to decorate.
• Serve with tomato chutney instead of tomato sauce.
• Use a combination of sesame seeds (black and white) on top.
