Sausage Twirls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 packaged Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage (any flavor)
2 cups biscuit mix
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (optional)

Preparation

Combine biscuit mix, milk, and butter in a large bowl until blended. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes. Divide refrigerated dough into 2 portions and roll out each portion on wax paper to 1/8 inch thick rectangles, each about 10x7-inch. Spread half the uncooked sausage over dough, top sausage with peppers and onions, if desired. Roll lengthwise into a log. Repeat process with remaining ingredients. Place both logs, wrapped, in freezer until hard enough to cut easily, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0 F. Cut each log into 24 thin slices and place on non-stick baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove twirls from oven and serve warm.
