Ingredients:
1 lb of sausage (your choice of mild or hot)
8 oz of cream cheese
2 cans of refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and no longer pink. Be sure to break it up into crumbles as it cooks.
Once the sausage is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add in the cream cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and thoroughly mixed with the sausage.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
Starting at the wider end, roll the dough up around the sausage and cream cheese, ending at the pointed tip. Repeat with the remaining triangles.
Place the rolls on your prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before serving.
