Recipe description:
Homemade Ground Beef Breakfast Sausage is mixed with eggs and cheese inside soft doughy rolls and baked to perfection.
Ingredients:
• 1 recipe Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage
• 2 large eggs, scrambled
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon water
• Fillings (optional): Chopped onions, salsa, chopped cooked vegetables
• 12 balls of frozen bread dough, thawed
Preparation:
1. Prepare Basic Country Beef Breakfast Sausage. Remove from skillet.
Basic Country-Style Beef Breakfast Sausage: Combine ½ Kg Ground Beef (93% or leaner), 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into crumbles, stirring occasionally.
Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 70°C. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
2. Preheat oven to 177°C. Lightly spray 12 muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray. Combine sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese and water. Stir in optional filling ingredients, if desired. Roll out one dough ball at a time on unfloured surface to 10 to 13 cm diameter circle. Place approximately 1/4 cup of sausage filling into the center of the circle. Gather edges of dough and pinch together. With hands roll dough back into ball. Place seam-side down into a muffin cup.
3. Bake 24 to 27 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.
