  How to Make Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

Follow these easy step-by-step instructions to make the perfect sausage crescent roll bites:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Then cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make smaller crescent pieces.

3. In a skillet, brown the ground sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain grease and let cool slightly.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

5. Spoon a small amount of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.

6. Roll up the dough starting from the wide end, forming a mini crescent roll.

7. Place crescents on a lined or greased baking sheet.

8. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

9. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
