How to make Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents:
This is a super easy sausage cream cheese crescents for beginners recipe.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Get this going first, so it’s hot and ready.
Step 2. Roll the crescent rolls out flat, and cut each triangle in half lengthwise for bite-sized crescents. If you want them larger, you can skip cutting them.
Step 3. Cook the ground sausage until it is completely browned. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat. Be sure to break it apart into small crumbles
Step 4. Add the cooled ground sausage to a mixing bowl with the cream cheese. Be sure to let the sausage cool a bit. If it’s too hot, it’ll melt the cream cheese into a liquid
Step 5: Then, add shredded cheese of your choosing as well as pepper to taste. Stir to combine completely. You shouldn’t see any big chunks of plain cream cheese.
Step 6. Spoon a small ball of the sausage mixture into the top of each piece of crescent roll where it is fattest. A small cookie scoop (about a tablespoon) works perfectly for this.
Step 7. Starting at the widest end, roll the crescent roll dough over the sausage filling, forming a mini stuffed crescent roll. Just roll them up loosely toward the small point
Step 8. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (easy cleanup). They’ll be puffy and golden.
