This Sausage roll recipe uses sausage meat as filling.  You are free to use bacon or if you do not like flavored sausage rolls, you can use ground pork.  The interesting part about making sausage rolls is that you don’t have to use one type of meat/sausage; you can combine two or more types and even add vegetables.  The name should not limit you to use sausage as the only filling. This is one of the many sausage roll recipes available, you are welcome to try it for breakfast, lunch or as a snack.
