- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the crescent roll package.
- Cook the Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bulk sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. Use a spoon to break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Combine Sausage and Cream Cheese:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined. If you like, add shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Prepare the Crescents:
- Open the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place a spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll the Crescents:
- Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and tucking the edges to seal in the filling. Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet with the sealed edge down.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven according to the instructions on the crescent roll package or until the crescents are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Once baked, remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- You can customize the filling by adding ingredients like diced jalapeños, chopped spinach, or your favorite herbs and spices.
- If you want a golden brown finish on top, brush the crescents with a beaten egg before baking.
