Savory sausage and cheese rolls with a crispy exterior, perfect for parties and gatherings. Easy to prepare, slice, and serve as delicious finger food for guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sausage, Bisquick, and grated cheese together.
- Work the mixture into long rolls.
- Store in refrigerator for 4 hours or freeze.
- Just before serving, cut into small pieces.
- Bake at 325°F until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even richer flavor, consider using a blend of cheeses such as Gruyère or Monterey Jack alongside the sharp Cheddar. If you're short on time, pre-cooked sausage can be substituted for hot ground sausage. To enhance the seasoning, add garlic powder or chopped herbs to the mixture. These bites are a perfect addition to any gathering, similar to the beloved Hot Sausage Appetizer.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the baked sausage rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve them warm with a side of honey mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping. Pair these savory treats with a fresh vegetable platter or a light salad to balance the richness. They also complement well with other party snacks like Pineapple Jewel Squares for a sweet touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the unbaked rolls, wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. To reheat, bake from frozen at 325°F for about 25-30 minutes until heated through and golden brown.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these sausage rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture, form the rolls, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Alternatively, freeze the unbaked rolls and bake them directly from the freezer when you're ready to serve.
What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick on hand, you can create a homemade version by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will work well for this recipe.
How do I know when the sausage rolls are done?
The sausage rolls are done when they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 160°F. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary slightly.
