Rotel Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescents

Rotel Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescents

Get ready for a snack that's as fun to make as it is to eat!

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 crescents 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound pork sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes, well-drained
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Cook Sausage: Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to keep your crescents from becoming soggy.
  3. Mix Filling: Add the softened cream cheese and drained Rotel tomatoes to the skillet. Stir until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
  4. Prepare Crescents: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
  5. Add Cheese and Roll: Sprinkle some cheddar cheese over the filling. Roll up the dough starting from the filled end and place each crescent on the baking sheet, ensuring they don't touch.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and puffed up.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Let them cool slightly before serving warm.
