    Very good flavors. I adjusted the onion amount. A bit spicy was the sausage; my kids wouldn't eat it. Next time I'll use ground beef or mild italian sausage.

    We used about half the amount of onion, and it was still a little too much. We also had to cook them about twice as long to get the pastry in the middle to cook through. Maybe a higher heat would cook them at the listed time. I loved the sausage filling, but I'll maybe try crescent roll dough next time.

    I also cut the onion some. It tasted great but did take a little longer to cook.

    Any suggestions on a good side dish for this?

    I just ended up going with steamed broccoli tossed with Parmesan cheese for the side. Also, I used ground beef because I didn't have any sausage. : (
    Don't forget to drain the oil in step 2! I think mine didn't stay together very well because I forgot to drain the oil. Next time I'll remember that important step and maybe add some shredded mozzarella cheese to the mix. All in all, even with my changes and mistakes, they were a hit and everyone requested seconds!

    Thanks for the feedback Angela. I think adding some cheese to the sausage mixture is a great addition! And you are right the the extra oil from browning the sausage will cause the puff pastry to become too wet and fall apart.

    For future reference you could substitute refrigerated crescent rolls for the frozen puff pastry. As for side dish recommendations here are a few simple side dishes that would be great with this: Lemon Corn and Zucchini: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/recipes/353347-lemon-corn-and-zucchini) or Easy Marinated Tomato Salad: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/recipes/344655-easy-marinated-tomato-salad) OR Asparagus with Lemon-Mustard Vinaigrette: (http://www.foodonthetable.com/recipes/353696-asparagus-with-lemon-mustard-vinaigrette)

    I mistakenly bough filo dough instead of puff pastry, and it still turned out wonderfully. Based on the comments here, I took the extra step of draining the sausage in paper towels before putting it on the filo dough. Everyone liked it.

    @Anonymous- Next time you make this, make sure you thoroughly drain the the oil (as indicated in step 2) and try draining the sausage on paper towels (as suggestion by user Jennifer) or draining and rinsing the sausage in a colander to get rid of excess grease. You could also use turkey or chicken sausage (or ground turkey or chicken) which tends to be less greasy than pork.
