A recipe for cheaters!
And here i thought i was in for a difficult dish!
Talk about cheating but in a good way! Very convenient on days you just don’t have the time nor the excitement of being in the kitchen for a length of time.
They loved them and they were definitely a hit! Made in no time!
The tomato sauce was out of this world and complimented the sausage rolls beautifully
Hope you enjoy
