Ingredients
 

  • 8 ounces package cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 package of crescent rolls

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Crumble sausage and cook thoroughly in a pan. Drain fat from pan and allow sausage to cool.
  • Combine cream cheese and sausage in a bowl and mix well.
  • Open package of crescents and roll out into a rectangle on a flat surface without separating the crescents. Press together and seal the perforated lines in the rolls.
  • Spoon sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the dough, spreading all over.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise. Wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or throw it in the freezer if you're in a hurry. You could also make it the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight. The main thing is to get the roll firm enough to slice easily.
  • Cut slices to about 1/4 inch and place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until they are golden on top.

Notes

  • Makes 20-25 crescent rolls.
  • To Store & Reheat: Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • To Freeze: Place cooled crescent rolls into a freezer-safe container and store for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
