 Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents 

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 

Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook Sausage:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Mix with Cream Cheese:

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and the softened cream cheese until well mixed. If desired, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Prepare Crescent Rolls:

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.

Fill Crescents:

Place a generous tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll up the dough, starting at the wide end, and place the crescents on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.

Serve:

Serve warm and enjoy!
