These sausage rolls are so tasty they will be a constant go-to. If opting for a large size sausage roll this recipes will make approx. 10 rolls or,  if making bite-size portions you will get about 20 cocktail size rolls from this mixture.  Freezer-friendly too, pop them straight into the oven from the freezer to create a super speedy mid-afternoon snack.
