Directions
-
Bring the Cheddar cheese and sour cream to room temperature for easier spreading.

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded Cheddar cheese and sour cream until smooth.

Remove the casings from the summer sausage links if they have not been removed already.

Slice the summer sausage into rounds, approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
-
Spread a scant 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture evenly over each sausage slice.
-
Place one sausage slice on top of another, overlapping them by about half their diameter.
-
Firmly roll the stacked slices together to form a tight log.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining slices to form three total sausage rolls.

Wrap the rolls tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Just before serving, slice the chilled rolls into 1/2-inch thick medallions.

Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
