Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage, like Jimmy Dean
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 10 ounce can Rotel, drained
- 16 ounces crescent roll dough, each can is 8 ounces
- ¼ cup melted butter, optional topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the sausage to a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Cook and crumble the sausage until it’s browned. Drain any grease, then use paper towels to pat out any more grease.
- Transfer the sausage to a large bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and drained can of Rotel. Stir to combine.
- Roll out both cans of crescent roll dough and press the perforations together.
- Spread the cheesy sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough.
- Starting with the long side of the dough, roll up each sheet of crescent roll dough tightly over the cheesy sausage mixture.
- Use a serrated knife to slice each roll into 16, approximately 1 inch rolls (for 32 total).
- Arrange the rolls on a 13 inch x 18 inch baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Brush the melted butter evenly on top of the rolls.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- Any leftovers should be placed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Since these rolls contain dairy, they should not be stored on the counter at room temperature.
- Reheat them in an air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes, or in a single layer on a baking sheet in the oven at 400°F for 6-8 minutes.
- This recipe makes 32 rolls, but you can easily cut it in half and only make 16 rolls, if you’re making the recipe for a small party appetizer, or smaller family breakfast. Simply use one can of crescent roll dough, then cut the other ingredients in half to make the filling. You can click the ½ button, next to the word “scale” above and it will automatically update all of the ingredients to make a half-portion of the rolls.
