Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pork sausage
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large skillet, cook the pork sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and browned. Drain any excess grease, if needed.
Transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl. While the sausage is still warm, add the cream cheese and stir until fully combined and smooth.
If using, stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to season the filling to your liking.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as marked on the packaging.
Add about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the sausage and cream cheese mixture to the wider end of each crescent triangle.
Carefully roll up the crescent rolls, starting from the wide end and tucking in the filling as you go. Place each roll on the prepared baking sheet, with the pointed end facing down to secure it during baking.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
