Grilled BBQ Bacon Burgers

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
5-6 slices of bacon
BBQ sauce

I hope you enjoy this simple burger to throw on the grill. I mixed the hamburger with crumbled bacon. Baste with BBQ sauce when grilling. Would be extra yummy topped with a slice of cheddar cheese and any other toppings. (I did not season the meat, so you may want to add salt & pepper or your favorite seasonings before grilling.)

Bring on summer, let the grilling commence!

Sausage Rollups

1 (16-ounce) package spicy pork sausage
1/2 of medium-sized red pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced (I used minced onions)
2 (8-ounce) packages refridgerated crescent rolls

1. Unroll one package of crescent rolls and press seams together to form one large rectangle; repeat with second package of crescent rolls.
2. Spread half of the sausage evenly over each rectangle. Spread red peppers and scallions over the sauage.
3. Starting with the narrow end, roll up jelly-roll style. Cut each roll into 8 equal slices and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
4. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink and crust is golden. Serve warm.

On your packages, I said to bake 35-40 minutes. Please check after 25 minutes. I was able to take these rolls from freezer straight to oven, and they cooked well. Enjoyo!
