Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground sausage (mild, spicy, or breakfast sausage)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer to a mixing bowl. - Mix the Filling
Add the softened cream cheese to the cooked sausage and stir until well combined. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese if using. - Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. - Fill and Roll
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Gently roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling. - Bake
Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. - Serve and Enjoy
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious breakfast, snack, or appetizer!
Notes
- Spicy Kick: Use hot sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Cheesy Upgrade: Mix in different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or Gouda.
- Herb-Infused: Add fresh chopped parsley, chives, or thyme for extra flavor.
- Sweet & Savory: Drizzle with a bit of honey for a contrast in flavors.
- Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based sausage and dairy-free cream cheese.
