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.
