Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ground sausage (breakfast, Italian, or preferred type) | 1 pound |
| Shredded cheese (your favorite kind) | 1 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 8 ounces |
| Refrigerated crescent roll dough | 2 cans |
| Pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix the cooled sausage with softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until well blended.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescents
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Slice each triangle lengthwise into two narrower pieces. Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture on the wide end of each piece.
Step 4: Roll and Bake
Roll the dough from the wide end over the filling to create small stuffed crescents. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents turn golden and are cooked through.
