Sausage Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 lb (about 1 cup) breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or spicy)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but yummy)

1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

Pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

Drain excess grease.

Mix filling:

In a bowl, combine cooked sausage, cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until creamy.

Assemble rolls:

Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.

Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each triangle.

Roll up toward the point.

Bake 11–13 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve warm — great with a side of maple syrup, honey mustard, or spicy jam for dipping!
