Equipment

  • skillet
  • baking sheet
  • plastic wrap
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls 8 ounces each
  • 1 package cream cheese softened, 8 ounces

Instructions
 

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Spread dough from one package crescent rolls out onto a work surface; pinch perforations together to create a single sheet of dough.
  • Spread ½ of the cream cheese over dough, leaving a ½-inch margin on each edge.
  • Sprinkle ½ of the cooked sausage evenly over cream cheese.
  • Starting at a long edge, roll dough around filling into a log; wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Repeat to make and wrap a second roll. Refrigerate rolls until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Cut rolls into ½-inch-thick slices and place onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Notes

Great for serving as appetizers at parties or brunch gatherings.
