TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Our friend Shalene McNeill shows us how to spice up our spring gatherings with these Texas-Style Beef Sausage Rolls from Beef Loving Texans, featuring a delicious blend of ground beef, jalapeño, and cheddar cheese.

Texas-Style Beef Sausage Rolls with Jalapeño and Cheddar

INGREDIENTS

· 2 lbs. Ground Beef

· 1 Tbsp. olive oil

· 1 onion, finely diced

· ⅓ cup bread crumbs

· 4 jalapeño peppers, de-seeded and diced

· 6 oz sharp or medium cheddar, finely diced

· 1 ½ tsp. of kosher salt

· 1 ½ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper

· 3 – 10 in. sheets of puff pastry, thawed

· 1 egg, beaten

PREPARATION

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375℉.

Step 2

Place olive oil in a small pan over MEDIUM heat. Add onions and brown for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Allow the onions to cool.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine beef, cooled onions, bread crumbs, jalapeños, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly as to not overwork the meat.

Step 4

Lay one square of pastry on a board or work surface. Use a third of the beef mixture to form a log down the center. Fold the pastry over the beef mixture on one side, then brush along the edge with egg mixture to create a “glue”. Continue to fold the roll over so it’s fully encased in pastry, and the edges line up on the egg glue line, then press the pastry lightly to ensure a good seal. Repeat steps with each pastry square.

Step 5

Flip each beef roll so it’s seam side down, then cut into 6-8 pieces. Place the pieces onto a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. You may need to rotate the tray during baking to ensure even browning.

Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

Step 6

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
