Ingredients
Filling
- 1 lb ground sausage mild or spicy based on preference
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls 8-count per can
Garnish
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar (optional), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Open the cans of crescent rolls and separate the dough into triangles on a clean work surface.
Assembly
- At the wide end of each crescent roll triangle, place a spoonful of the sausage mixture and roll it up, tucking in the sides.
- Place filled crescents on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Consider adding ingredients like sautéed onions or bell peppers for a twist. Don't overfill the crescents to avoid mess. Bake immediately after assembling for best results.
