Total Time:40 minutes
Yield:12
Ingredients
1 (12-count) package King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
12 Little Smokies cocktail sausages
1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 pound lean ground beef (80/20 or 85/15)
3/4 cup diced yellow onion
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
2 teaspoons salt pepper garlic seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add onion and seasoning, then cook until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the tomato sauce, yellow mustard, and BBQ sauce. Simmer for 8–10 minutes until the chili thickens.
Cut a slit into the top of each King's Hawaiian Sweet Roll without cutting all the way through.
Place one Little Smokie into each roll, then spoon the chili over each Little Smokie.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with the diced onions.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are warmed through.
