B

They can be made ahead of time

One of the best things about making sausage rolls is that you can easily prepare them ahead of time. Just make the dough, wrap it around your favorite filling and then pop them in the fridge until you're ready to cook them. This makes them perfect for parties and other get-togethers where last minute preparations might be necessary!

Sausage rolls are versatile

The great thing about sausage rolls is that there's no one right way to make them. You can use ground beef, pork, chicken, turkey or even vegan options like tofu. And you can change up the flavors by adding spices, herbs or sauces. There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating the perfect sausage roll!
