Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Refrigerated crescent roll dough Classic triangles work best.
  • 1 lb Sausage Breakfast sausage, mild or hot.
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Full fat melts the smoothest.
Optional Seasoning
  • 1 pinch Garlic powder Optional for additional flavor.
  • 1 pinch Black pepper Optional for seasoning.
  • 1 dash Red pepper flakes For a little kick, if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink, breaking it into small crumbles.
  3. Turn off the heat and drain extra grease if there is a lot. Stir in the cream cheese until creamy and evenly mixed.
  4. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
  5. Spoon a small amount of the filling onto the wide end of each triangle (about a heaping teaspoon).
  6. Roll them up towards the point and place on the baking sheet, point side down.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until deep golden brown on top.
  2. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

These rolls are best when freshly baked and still warm. Keep filling modest to prevent leaking. Store leftovers in an airtight container; they can be frozen and reheated.
