Tips for Making Football Sausage Rolls:

These sausage rolls use a smoked sausage rope, like the one pictured here, and crescent rolls. Then, it’s simple to make the lines of the football with white icing.

These sausages will be cut in half lengthwise. Once they are cut in half lengthwise, then you can cut them again in smaller pieces. This made about 8 sausage rolls with 1 rope, but it will vary a bit depending on how big they are cut.

At this point, you will roll out the crescent dough and cut it into long strips, then wrap it around the sausage, and then let them bake in the oven.

Once they are fully cooled, it’s easy to add the football laces to each roll and you have the perfect themed snack for your Game Day table.

Can you make Football Sausage Rolls in the Air Fryer or Ninja Foodi?

These can be made in the Air Fryer or in the Ninja Foodi using the Air Crisp function. The same method would be followed as is with these Air Fryer Pigs in a Blanket.

Once you are ready to cook these sausage rolls, you would cook them at 390*F for 5-8 minutes until the crescent roll is nice and golden brown.

What should you serve Football Sausage Rolls with?

They can be paired with Homemade Ranch Dressing for dipping too.

We like to add these to our game day recipes to give a savory addition to some of those sweet game day treats!
