Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Sausage
- 1 (17.5-oz) can refrigerated Pillsbury Grands cinnamon rolls
- ½ lb breakfast sausage
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and lightly spray a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Rolls: Separate the cinnamon rolls into individual pieces. Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll and evenly spread uncooked breakfast sausage over the dough, leaving about an inch uncovered at one end to allow for sealing.
- Roll and Arrange: Gently reroll each sausage-covered dough strip and place them snugly into the prepared cake pan to form a spiral pattern.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sausage is cooked through, and the dough is golden brown.
- Frost: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately frost them with the glaze included in the cinnamon roll package to add a sweet contrast to the savory filling.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage is thoroughly cooked; you can check by cutting into one roll after baking.
- Do not overfill with sausage to ensure the rolls seal properly and bake evenly.
- Use a non-stick spray or lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
