Food Relief to Family Favourites: Wendy’s Sausage Roll Recipe

The recipe for these simple and tasty sausage rolls comes from SecondBite food relief client Wendy.   

Receiving food relief through one of SecondBite’s charity partners empowers Wendy to feed her family on a tight budget. 

Wendy’s sausage rolls are budget-friendly, freezer-ready, and use ingredients often found in a SecondBite food hamper. 

“These freeze beautifully – either cooked or uncooked,” Wendy says.  

“I often double the batch and freeze half for quick snacks or lunchbox additions later in the week”.

Wendy’s Simple Herb Sausage Rolls are a family favourite at her house, so why not give them a go at your place…
