Sausage Rolls

I wanted to share how to make sausage rolls because they are a great party snack, just in time for Superbowl! 

The ones that you can make at home taste much better than what you can get from the store and I made 38 for under $10. So it can more economical to make them at home instead of buying them at the supermarket. They are also really easy and they freeze really well, so you can make some for now and save some for later.
