If you are looking for a healthier version of one of your favourite recipes, they you have found it! These homemade Beef and Vegetable Sausage Rolls are made using beef mince instead of sausage meat and they are also packed with veggies, making them perfect for the whole family!
Why you will love these Homemade Sausage Rolls:
- They are made using beef mince, making them a healthier version that a sausage roll made with sausage mince.

Sausage Roll Ingredients:
- Beef Mince
- Zucchini
- Carrot
- Onion
- Garlic
- Mixed Herbs
- Tomato Chutney
- Egg
- Salt and Pepper
- Worcestershire Sauce
My Tips for Making the BEST Sausage Rolls:
- You can add any type of grated vegetables to this recipe.
- These sausage rolls are freezer friendly either before they are baked or once baked.
- The time it takes to bake your sausage rolls will depend on the size you cut them – eg larger sausage rolls will take longer to cook through.
- It’s important to squeeze the liquid out of the meat mixture before adding it to your pastry as this will help to make the bases of the sausage rolls crispy.
- For crispy sausage rolls, I like to lightly coat a non stick baking tray with oil before placing the sausage rolls onto it to bake.

Never been brave enough to make my own – usually go with the frozen ready made – but might have to be brave now! Found on FFF 🙂

They look great and so much healthier that shop bought sausage rolls. Homemade sauce even better.
Maria
Hello, do you freeze before cooking or after?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Maria, you can freeze either before or after. I usually freeze after baking as it’s then less time to reheat.
Linda
These are excellent! One extra thing I add is 1/2-3/4 cup of rolled oats. Nobody ever notices and it notches up the health rating a little further.

My fresh 2 year old is going through a MAJOR fussy stage (even though he could only be labelled as a vacuum cleaner mere months ago). Anything sausage is still on his approved list but they kind of gross me out cause you just don’t know what’s in them. This is perfect timing, I’ll make a batch up to freeze and bring out when he rejects yet another normal dinner 🙂

I’m glad I can help! I have the same concerns about sausages, which is why I don’t add sausage meat to these. Hopefully your boys fussy stage ends soon!
