Pigs in a Blanket Cinnamon Rolls
These Sausage Cinnamon Rolls are a favorite at our house. Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls stuffed with breakfast sausage. SO good! These rolls are super simple to make and taste great. I usually double the recipe for my family. Nobody can eat just one! Whip up some eggs and potatoes and you are set. These are easy enough for a weekday morning and also make for a special holiday morning treat.
How to Make Sausage Stuffed Cinnamon Rolls
As I said, these rolls are very simple to make. Separate a can of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls into five rolls. Unroll the rolls and spread some uncooked sausage on top of each roll. Reroll the cinnamon rolls and place in a cake pan. Bake until the rolls are golden brown. Spread the can of frosting on top of the baked roll and enjoy.
- Do NOT cook the sausage before adding it to the cinnamon rolls. The sausage will cook along with the cinnamon rolls.
- I used Jimmy Dean hot sausage. You can substitute turkey sausage if you prefer.
- Can Sausage Cinnamon Rolls be made in advance? You can assemble the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate overnight before baking.

Hum, never thought about this one either.
You have been like a mad scientist with your cinnamon rolls of late, Steph. And it's working!
Yum!!! This looks like my kind of morning happiness! 🙂
Wonderful idea. The combination of all the flavors would be delicious.
Heather – they weren't greasy at all. I did use low-fat sausage. I think that helped.
Who would've thought!?! They look kind of "crazy" uncooked, but I'm sure they're delicious! Sweet and savory in each bite is a taste treat!
Does cooking the meat with the rolls make it greasy at all?
