These turned out great! I added more seasonings because we like things spicy. I added oregano, garlic, hot pepper and some dry Ranch dressing mix along with some shredded cheese. What a good idea to use those frozen rolls. I reheated one in the microwave the next day for 20 seconds and it was delicious. I had plenty left over so I wrapped them individually and put them in freezer bags so I'll have them for my lunch sometime. The fillings would be endless for these little bundles. I defrosted the rolls in the morning for use at dinner that night and they were fine. They are a little time consuming. I suggest you make these up about an hour in advance so they can rise a little and you can clean up the mess before dinner. These would be a great party food, too. Thanks for the recipe.

I had never had them till tried them when I lived in NE. I have made this in years past and made mine with homemade bread which made it even better. I couldn't believe that I was able to make them and have them turnout goood enough to eat. Yummy. Whenever you make something from scratch it always seems to taste better.

These are simply amazing! Great meal for the whole family and very easy to make. I added lots of Morton's seasoning salt and it tasted heavenly.

Mmmmm...reminded me of my grossmutter Oma's haus. I used a homemade sweet bread instead of frozen rolls and added some caraway and garlic to the stuffing to give is some contrast as well. Vielen Dank!
