Made these today for my family, and they were gone within ten minutes!!. (To some i added sesame seeds on top, and also some mixed herbs to the mixture, just a personal preference) and though i didnt cook my meat first i did have to cook them for 35 minutes, so they were cooked through.
We LOVE this recipe so a big Thank You **Jubes**

Other than cutting this recipe in half, and substituting BBQ sauce for tomato sauce as listed these went over like gangbusters. Love the taste too, and like the idea of a wrapped meatloaf. A meal that we all enjoyed. Made for Aussie/NZ Swap 37.

Very easy and very good! The picture doesn't do it justice. It's pretty with the little flecks of carrot in the meat. I didn't cook the meat first. I looked up a bunch of sausage roll recipes, and they don't. It turned out fully cooked.
