directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Either mix up a batch of your favorite biscuit dough and cut into 16 pieces or open a can of biscuits (the flaky kind is my favorite) and separate each biscuit into half (this should give you 16 biscuit halves).
  • Take the 2 slices of cheese, cut each into 4 strips, and then cut those in half the other direction, giving you 16 short strips.
  • Place 1 strip of cheese and 1 sausage onto each biscuit piece and wrap dough around them. Place seam side down on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Brush the tops with melted butter and serve warm.
  • You can of course, substitute any of your favorite kolache fillings.

  1. quick easy and much more economical for a family of boys that act like they have hollow legs.
     
  2. I have always called these pigs in a blanket. My grandson was here last week & we made these together. He was very good at rolling them up and ate three for breakfast! We used flakey Grands biscuits and more cheese. Thank you for a recipe that was easy & fun to do in the kitchen for grandma time! Made for ZWT4.
     
  3. These are simply great! Reminds me of the sausage rolls I make. Good thing I doubled this recipe as DH ate a lot of this. Recommended for snacks, to go and I'll bringing some with me when I go out tomorrow. Thank you!
     
  4. Though I adapted this recipe quite a bit, it's definitely five stars! I used refrigerated crescent roll dough from the grocery, and tried a few different fillings -- the best was lil'smokies with cheese. I also did some with chicken, bacon, mozzarella and pasta sauce, and some with hamburger, cheddar, and pasta sauce. All were delicious! Thank you!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with two lovely children, a wonderful husband, and 2 hungry roommates. I'm an artist by avocation, and am working to being one by vocation as well. * grins * Just to let everyone know, after a half hour discussion about it, the boys (DH and Roommate) have settled on ratings meanings. I reserve the right to bump up or down a half star a recipe based on the actual recipe and how easy it was, etc. etc. I have to admit, it's been a couple of years since I updated this text and in the meantime, my picky picky DD has flowered into a girl who enjoys California rolls, will give almost everything a try, and in general much less picky than the average 7 year old in this area. DS, at 2 and a half, asks for salad for lunch and then demolishes it. He's a weirdo. :) We try to be very honest and very descriptive with our reviews. And I fully appreciate the same from people reviewing my recipes. Not every family will like every recipe, and sometimes what you didn't like about a recipe, another family will love! :) I also try to be as nice and polite as possible in my reviews. I don't believe there is any reason not to. The only thing that really upsets me enough to be mean is when a poorly written recipe forces me to have to clean my kitchen. ***** - "Scout is not allowed to make this very often because it is highly addictive and will be inhaled on sight!" Dump Cakes, Sweet Salsa Chicken and Wasabi Peanuts are in this category. **** - "This is wonderful and we want to see it again fairly often, a new family favorite." *** - "This is good. We woud eat it again without any changes, but it's not our favorite." ** - "We did not like this very much, but we would eat it again if served it. It would be good if some changes were made. This was really not to our taste." * - "We would eat this again only with a lot of condiments to mask the taste." no stars - Means that I want to say something, but don't wish to post stars. This does not mean it is worse than a one star recipe!! :) I will only post public recipes that I have in fact cooked, and that my family has enjoyed - at least 3 stars on the above scale.
