Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add cream cheese: Reduce heat to low, then stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and combined. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare the crescents: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
4. Fill and roll: Spoon about a tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll up toward the point.
5. Bake: Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm: Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a crowd-pleasing party appetizer.

Pro Tip: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a touch of garlic salt or Parmesan for extra flavor.
