Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

Ingredients:

1 lb ground sausage

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.

Spoon a portion of the sausage cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.

Roll up the crescent rolls, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides to enclose the filling.

Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
