Vegemite and cheese sausage rolls

It’s hard to go past a good old-fashioned sausage rolls. This version is admittedly a little different to the traditional kind, but it’s so darned tasty you’ll be temped to ditch the old for the new every time you make them.  This delicious sausage roll is packed with pork chipolata, cheese and everyone’s favourite Aussie ingredient — Vegemite.

It’s dead easy to make and is a great snack to serve up to the grandkids when they come to visit, or to enjoy on your own for dinner with a side of veg. This version calls for pork chipolatas, but you can use beef if you prefer. Serve hot out of the oven, dunk into tomato sauce and dig in!
