Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled beef sausage, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Mix until well blended.
3️⃣ Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Prepare the Crescent Dough

4️⃣ Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.

Step 4: Fill and Roll

5️⃣ Place 1–2 tablespoons of the sausage filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
6️⃣ Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and tucking the edges slightly to seal the filling inside.

Step 5: Bake

7️⃣ Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
8️⃣ Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.

Step 6: Serve

9️⃣ Remove from the oven and let the crescents cool slightly. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
