Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Cream Cheese Filling
- 2 packages of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage Crumbles (9.6 oz each)
- 8 oz cream cheese
Crescent Roll Dough
- 2 packages of crescent rolls (8 oz each)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking throughout the baking process.
- Mix Sausage and Cream Cheese: In a medium pot over low heat, combine the sausage crumbles and cream cheese. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and warmed through, creating a rich and flavorful filling.
- Prepare the Crescent Roll Base: Unroll one package of crescent roll dough onto a greased baking sheet. Pinch the seams together carefully to form a continuous, smooth base layer.
- Add the Filling: Evenly spread the warm sausage and cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll base, ensuring a uniform layer to maximize flavor in every bite.
- Top with Crescent Roll Layer: Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and place it atop the filling. Pinch the seams of the top layer and seal the edges securely to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Bake: Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, flaky, and fully cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the bake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm for the best creamy texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- You can substitute pork sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option.
- For an extra cheesy version, sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling before adding the top crescent roll layer.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to avoid filling spilling out while baking.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
