Not sure I'd use lamb fat but okay.
I'd save that for something more fat forward. Pippi will be there in a minute...

I'm not sure if I am reading some of the posts correctly so forgive me if I'm not but there is a difference between Sausages and Sausage Rolls - they aren't the same at all.
As said, if I am misunderstanding some of the posts then sorry but it seemed as though some were comparing actual sausages to sausage rolls ... hope that makes sense.

I don’t buy ground beef because my daughter doesn’t like the ones that come in a package, but the Persian store they might sell ground turkey, ground chicken, and ground lamb, not sure they are from the round packages or not. Maybe they grind them there in the store.
Here is an example of a package they don't want me to buy because they won’t eat them.

That would probably be ideal for your beef then - I'll have to have a look for that around here. Cheers!!
Probably because your recipe only has the sausage ingredients listed and no pastry or instructions/method for making and baking the sausage rolls.
Also, they're a very uncommon item in the US and most people wouldn't know what they are without looking them up
Fair enough on the "how to combine everything" side of things but thought the picture of them might have shown them to be different to a regular sausage. Granted I did forget to mention the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry I use 
As for the method used - all I do is mix all the ingredientsa together and make sure they are well blended. Roll out the pastry sheets so they are about 12" square and cut them inhalf. I then run a lineof themeat mix down the middle of each sheet and roll the pastry around the meat making sure to get the roll as evenly sized as possible. Then I cut the rolls into four seperate lengths and cut slits in the tops of each prior to basting each one with egg.
You could make your sausage rolls longer or smaller of course OR just make one very long one
Pre heat oven to 350F and bake for 30 - 35 minutes turning half way through. Check that they are cooked, remove from oven and eat

Lamb is used for merquez sausages (I love them), put pastry around it and you got 'nother sausage roll.
They are normally stuffed in sheep casing, but you can do what you want
Freedom, you know

Yep - a sausage roll is nothing more than ameat with seasoning wrapped in pastryLamb is used for merquez sausages (I love them), put pastry around it and you got 'nother sausage roll.

I might have to try some lamb ones one day. I know I wasn't that impressed with the pork ones I made - they were bland.
Prob not the meat, but the seasoning. You seem to have left out the salt in the second one. Also, the water would dilute the flavour. Seems quite a lot.
Is it an Aussie thing?
Sausage Rolls you mean? If so yep, mainly in Australia I think.
And yes, I do leave out salt and pepper intentionally. That is one thing I never add to anything I cook due to some people not liking it. If someone wants salt, I let them add it themselves
You could be right about the first lot I made with Pork - may have been the seasoning as I made them straight from a recip[e I found on line. Since then I have just added and subtracted seasoning to taste. I think this last batch, depsite being soggy, were good taste wise and pretty close to what I originally was looking for - something with savory taste
Meant adding the water.
They're actually part of British cuisine. (Wikipedia knows everything!) Australian by default

There was salt in you first batch non?
Nope - don't use salt in anything
I didn't use them in the Beef ones I have made either and they tasted much better than the pork ones. Maybe it is me because I don't like pork and I am comparing what I have made to the ones I bought from 7/11 in Australia.
Ahh don't know - it was included in a recipe I found on line. Not sure if it was an Australian site or not, most likely an American site though I think as I didn't google specifically for Australian recipes. Some recipes used water others didn't and each had different seasonings as well.Meant adding the water.
There doesn't seem to be a consisent recipe for Sausage Rolls.
Now you have introduced something different again "Pigs in a Blanket" 
They are hot dogs (basically) wrapped in pastry
Who du thought something as simple and basic as a poor little sausage roll could lead to such complicated matters
