Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it up into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet with the cooked sausage. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and well combined with the sausage. Remove the skillet from heat.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pinching the perforations to seal the seams.
Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough layer in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture to create an even layer.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and carefully lay it over the top of the cheese layer, pinching seams as needed to seal.
Lightly sprinkle the top with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top layer of dough is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
