Manly Meat Rolls

I like to have something quick to grab when I have just a moment for a meal. This is the perfect thing to make if your freezer goes out and the meat you had in there thaws.

Crust (sufficient for two meat rolls):
4 cups Bisquick
1 cup milk (adjust as needed)
3 TBSP garlic powder
2 TBSP onion powder
3 TBSP Italian seasoning
1 TBSP chili powder
(I use a double recipe and make 4 meat rolls at a time.)

Sauce, per meat roll:
¼ cup Alfredo sauce (more or less to taste) or
¼ cup bleu cheese salad dressing

Filling: Select as you like:
1½ pound sage sausage, browned
½ cup sliced carrots, pre-cooked
¼ cup sweet onion, sliced, microwaved until soft
½ cup fresh whole spinach leaves
¼ cup frozen corn
¼ cup chopped, frozen, broccoli
4 ounces sliced pepperoni
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded or diced mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded or diced cheddar cheese
Freshly ground pepper
Freshly ground lemon spice mix
(I tend to make each one differently; my favorite includes sausage, any two kinds of cheese, carrot, onion, a frozen veggie or two, and a lot of spices.)

Use 4 or 5 of the above for each meat roll.

Roll out the dough, spread the sauce, add ingredients, roll up the meat roll, transfer to a large cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Top with butter and cheese, or other interesting things from the ingredients list.

Cook at 375 or 400 for 20 - 25 minutes, or until browned on top and 140 degrees inside. Set aside to cool. When completely cool, slice into 2" slices, and put each in a separate freezer bag.

When you're hungry, take one out of the freezer, microwave it for a minute or two, grab a bottle of iced tea, and eat on the run.
