Sausage Crescent Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that combines savory sausage with flaky, buttery crescent rolls. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (16 oz) ground sausage (breakfast sausage works great)
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls (8-count)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions:
-
Cook the sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula.
- Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). If desired, you can season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Drain any excess grease from the sausage and set it aside to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the crescent rolls:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Separate the dough into individual triangles as indicated on the package.
-
Assemble the rolls:
- Take a spoonful of the cooked sausage and place it at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- If you like, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage before rolling them up.
- Roll up the crescent dough, starting at the wide end, and pinch the edges to seal.
-
Bake:
- Place the rolled crescent sausages on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake according to the package instructions for the crescent rolls (usually about 10-12 minutes) or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- These can be enjoyed as-is or served with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a little bit of hot sauce or mustard to the sausage before rolling it into the dough.
- You can also try using different types of sausage, such as spicy sausage or maple sausage, to vary the flavor.
Enjoy your Sausage Crescent Rolls! They’re perfect for parties, brunch, or as a quick and tasty snack!
