Ingredients
1 can(s) pizza dough
1 pkg sweet italian sausage
1/3 c butter
1/3 c flour
2 c milk
1 c shredded or sliced cheese
1 Tbsp basil or parsley (your choice)
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp melted butter for brushing
1/2 c chopped onion
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, spray pan spray into large muffin pan and set aside.
2. In a medium skillet brown onions and sausage (you can use link or bulk sausage but remove skin if using links)
3. Meanwhile place butter and flour in medium saucepan, cook until slightly brown and somewhat crumbly Add milk and cheese (I had Parmesan, Gouda and Swiss leftover from a charcuterie that worked perfectly for this ANY good melting cheese will work, I would avoid American cheese just for texture preferences) stir continuously until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Lay out pizza dough onto non stick mat or parchment paper, put cooked meat in an even layer over entire dough, then cover with a thin layer of cheese sauce. Using mat or parchment paper to help, roll like a long cinnamon roll. Cut into 2” rolls one at a time and place into cup cake pan.
5. Combine melted butter and basil (or parsley) and brush the top of all the rolls Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
6. I had a little leftover sauce and sausage that I saved to use on a little bit of macaroni tomorrow 😉
