Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all of the ingredients together.
- Slice the rolls and remove some of the center to make room for the filling.
- Fill each roll with approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
- Wrap each roll individually in foil.
- Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
- Place on a cookie sheet and heat in a 300°F (150°C) oven until hot through, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider adding some cream cheese or sour cream to the mixture. If you want to switch up the flavors, try using feta cheese instead of cheddar or add some cooked bacon for extra richness. You can also use different types of olives or add spices like cumin for a twist. These stuffed rolls can be made ahead and are perfect for gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These stuffed rolls are great as appetizers or as part of a light meal. Serve them alongside a fresh salad for a balanced dish, or pair with a side of fruit for a refreshing contrast. They also go well with a light dessert like Jiffy Plum Cake. For a more substantial option, consider accompanying them with some soup for a cozy dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap the rolls in foil and place them in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating them in short intervals until hot, but the oven method preserves their texture better.
