Forgot to mention, make sure you really kneed the meat/ingredients to make it firmly pushed together, mine couldn''t hold it''s shape & was too loose.

For a healthyish meal this is really good. It actually tastes exactly like a sausage roll & we dolloped tomato sauce over the top which helped a lot. Quite large servings which was great (nice to feel so full for a change when calorie counting)! I reckon you could add a grated up carrot to this & you wouldn''t notice the difference. Great dish, quick & easy to prepare, will make again. 4 stars
