Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown sausage in a skillet, stirring until it crumbles. Drain and cool.
- Place biscuits on a floured pastry board; flatten and pinch seams together.
- Roll the biscuits into an 8 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage, chopped onions, chopped apples, shredded Colby cheese, brown sugar, and cinnamon evenly over the rectangle.
- Roll the rectangle to enclose the filling; pinch and seal the edges.
- Cut the rolled dough into 6 slices.
- Place the slices in 2 disposable baking pans.
- Grill with lid down over medium indirect heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rolls are done.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder or paprika to the sausage mixture. If you're looking for a healthier option, substitute turkey sausage with chicken sausage. For a vegetarian twist, try using a plant-based sausage alternative. Ensure the biscuits are well-floured to avoid sticking while rolling. If you prefer a crunchier texture, grill the rolls with the lid slightly ajar for the last few minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these savory sausage rolls warm with a side of honey mustard or barbecue sauce for dipping. They pair well with a fresh salad or coleslaw, making for a delightful meal. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside the Quick Reuben for a hearty snack platter. A chilled drink or light beer complements these rolls perfectly, enhancing the overall experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but this may result in a softer texture.
