Stuffed Hamburger Patties
Instead of just having all your flavour on the outside of the burger patty, these stuffed hamburger patties put the flavour on the inside too.

Sausage Roll Scrolls

Homemade Skinless Chicken & Apricot Sausages
My boys love sausages! Now they aren’t the most healthiest meat option but they are great for quick meals once a week, BBQ’s or of course with mashed potato gravy and peas.
