Add the second can of dough and place it over the sausage to make a “sandwich.” Seal, pinch, and press the outer edges to keep in the sausage mixture.
I used a fork to create tighter edges but that’s optional. I baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes until golden brown.

This is another dish that doesn’t look all that appealing but it is delicious. We used Frito Lay strips for the dip. It was flavorful and super cheesy.

I wish it was a little thicker, but I think it’s because I used too big of a casserole dish. I loved the dessert but need to know how to make it better.
