Ingredients
1 lb ground sausage
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it’s perfectly hot for baking your Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents to golden perfection.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease for a less greasy texture.
3. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage and softened cream cheese. For added richness, you can mix in some shredded cheddar cheese – a great way to make these cheesy sausage crescents even more irresistible!
4. Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles, ready to wrap that delicious sausage mixture.
5. Fill and Roll: Place a generous tablespoon of the sausage-cream cheese filling at the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll them up from the wide end to the tip, sealing in all that savory sausage filling.
6. Bake: Place the crescents on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown.
7. Serve: Serve your warm, crispy Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents right out of the oven! Perfect for parties, brunches, or as a delightful snack.
