  1. Cook the Sausage:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbly.
    • Drain excess grease.
  2. Mix the Filling:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
    • Unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
  4. Fill & Roll:
    • Place a spoonful of sausage-cream cheese mixture near the wide end of each triangle.
    • Roll up into crescents and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Serve:

🧀 Tips & Variations:

  • Make them spicier: Use hot sausage or mix in a little crushed red pepper.
  • Extra cheesy: Stir in a handful of shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese into the filling.
  • Mini party version: Cut crescent dough triangles in half for bite-sized crescents.

Would you like me to give you a make-ahead freezer version so you can prep a batch and just bake them when needed (perfect for busy mornings or unexpected guests)?
