Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough sheets
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for brushing)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or olive oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, stretching and pinching the edges together to create one uniform sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined and evenly distributed.
Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer in the baking dish.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it on top of the sausage mixture, pressing the edges together to seal. Stretch and pinch as needed to cover the filling completely.
If desired, melt the butter and mix in garlic powder, then brush it over the top crescent layer for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm and enjoy!
