Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (1-lb) roll breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 (10-oz) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained very well
- 2 (8-oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage, softened cream cheese, and well-drained Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Assemble Crescents: Separate the refrigerated crescent rolls into triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create two smaller triangles. Place a small scoop of the sausage filling onto each triangle and roll up, starting from the wide end.
- Bake: Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These crescents are best enjoyed warm.
Notes
- Add extra cheese: For an even creamier filling, sprinkle some shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese over the sausage mixture before rolling up the crescents.
- Try different sausages: Experiment with different types of sausage, such as spicy Italian or chorizo, to change up the flavor profile.
- Use a food processor: If you want a smoother filling, pulse the sausage, cream cheese, and Rotel mixture in a food processor for a few seconds.
