"There are a ton of these recipes out there, but mine includes delicious and spicy Italian sausage. Quick meal that the kids will love to help out with and of course, eat! Great with a bit of homemade garlic bread and a nice Caesar salad! Can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge, just let it sit 30 mins at room temp. before baking."

Very bland for our tastes and I even thru in a little bit of Italian Seasoning and Garlic powder (into the ricotta) for good measure. I would also double the meat if I made this again. We had some blue cheese sauce left over from another dish and we put that on top of these rollups which really enhanced their flavor. Made for Photo Challenge: Ground Meat.
