Before we start, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients for the French Onion Sausage Rolls.
For the Sausage Filling:
- 1 pound ground sausage (pork, beef, or a mix)
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Onion Mixture
- Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions start to brown too quickly.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Add the minced garlic to the caramelized onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
