No stars for this review since I altered the recipe so much, but I loved the basis of this dish! I used an 8x8 pan and just one tube of generic cinnamon rolls and cut each roll in half. I placed each roll half in the pan and tossed in cooked turkey sausages that I'd diced up. Cooked according to the package directions and topped with the frosting- yum! Perfectly sweet and savory- no mushiness! So good!

Mine turned out watery and mushy on the bottom. Nice golden brown on the top. Think they would have been better out of the can and baked the usual way.
