🛒 Ingredients (Makes 12 Crescent Rolls)
1 lb mild breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough (or crescent sheet)

1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
👨🍳 How to Make Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls
🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large pan, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat and return the sausage to the pan.
Add the cream cheese to the pan and stir until it’s melted and combined with the sausage.
Stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and creamy.
🌟 Step 2: Assemble the Crescent Rolls
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles.
Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Roll the dough up tightly from the wide end to the tip, pinching the sides to seal the filling inside.
🔥 Step 3: Bake
Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s a little space between each one.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and crispy.
🍽️ Step 4: Serve & Garnish
Once baked, remove the crescent rolls from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley (optional) and serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, ranch dressing, or hot sauce.
💡 Tips & Tricks
🔥 Add Extra Spice:
If you like more heat, consider adding some jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce to the sausage filling.
🧀 Cheese Lovers:
For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese into the filling before rolling up the dough. The cheese will melt beautifully as the rolls bake.
🌱 Make It Veggie-Friendly:
For a vegetarian version, you can swap the sausage for vegetarian breakfast sausage or mushrooms sautéed with onions and garlic.
