Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 (8-ounce) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10-ounce) can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, well drained
- 2 (8-ounce) cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled beef sausage, softened cream cheese, and well-drained Rotel tomatoes. Mix until fully combined.
3️⃣ Prep the Crescent Dough:
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into individual triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create smaller triangles.
4️⃣ Fill and Roll:
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place a small amount of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Gently roll the dough, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling inside as you go.
5️⃣ Bake:
Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
6️⃣ Serve:
Remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These are best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the oven!
