Sausage Crescent Rolls

Introduction

Sausage crescent rolls are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer or breakfast treat that combines savory sausage with buttery, flaky crescent roll dough.

Perfect for parties, brunches, or a quick snack, these rolls are a crowd-pleaser that requires minimal effort and delivers maximum flavor.

Ingredients

1 pound ground sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausage Mixture

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it is fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Rolls

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each triangle slightly.

Step 3: Fill and Roll

Spoon a generous tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.

Starting from the wide end, roll the dough up towards the pointed end, encasing the sausage mixture inside. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly coated with cooking spray.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Tips for Success

For an extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle some additional shredded cheddar on top of the rolls before baking.

These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake, making them a great option for busy mornings or hosting guests.

Experiment with different types of cheese or add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or onions to the sausage mixture for added flavor and texture.
