Made this tonight with the hopes of taking some to school tomorrow... Unfortunately I am down to only 3 out of the original 16 and I am not sure those will last through the night. They were a big hit with everyone in the house. Will make them again.

I served these for Football Sunday and the men yelled as loud for these as they did at the TV! I used Pilsbury biscuits instead of the hot roll mix and it was still a great combination. Awesome way to use up leftovers from a week-end cookout! Thank you!

We found this recipe in a Taste Of Home cookbook before we found it here. We absolutely loved it! We are outdoorsy peopele, hiking and canoeing and thought that this recipe would be a perfect "take along" for any outdoor event. The only change we made was substituting real garlic for the garlic salt and it came out great. Thanks for posting it WJKing!

WOW! These are really tasty little "Bundles"! Very easy to assemble and bake, too! I added some browned Italian sausage to the mix. Served these with a roni salad and spicy mustard to dab on the bundles! Made a very nice supper. Thank you for sharing, J, we really enjoyed. Laudee
