Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents - only 3 ingredients! Great breakfast or party food! Can make filling ahead of time. People go crazy over these things!
I've had this recipe for years. I got it from my co-workers at my second job in The 'Ham. You can make these as individual servings like I do or lay one can of rolls out and top with the sausage mix and then top with the second can of rolls. I like the individual rolls - I can eat more!

Hi. I will be making these Friday to take to a party Sat. I'm assuming after baking them, I need to put them in the refrigerator because of the cream cheese?? How do I reheat them? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteTo reheat them, I wrap them in foil and bake them at 350 for about 15 minutes or so.
ReplyDeleteDo you cook the sausage first?
ReplyDeleteDavid - yes, cook the sausage first.
ReplyDeleteCan you show a picture of how to cut the pastry in half lengthwise?
ReplyDeleteWend - you are going to take the 8 triangles and cut them into 16 triangles. Just lay one crescent roll flat with the wide end facing you and cut it straight down the middle to get two triangles.
ReplyDeleteEasy peasy tasty...perfect! Whipped these up as an after school snack and the kids devoured them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

So good!
ReplyDeleteThese crescents look so easy and tasty!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify - when complete you will have 32 individual sausage cream cheese roll-ups?
ReplyDeleteMinaMarie - correct. You are splitting 16 crescent rolls into 32 crescent rolls.
ReplyDeleteI've made these for years, they are a family favorite for breakfast. Recently I add a handful of shredded cheese, it adds a little something.
ReplyDeleteTinaT - I will try that next time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteA can of green chilies mixed in with the sausage is what makes this a favorite at our house, but we like spicy! When I was a kid, we called them Rattlesnake Bites.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! Will try them soon!
ReplyDeleteI use sage sausage and stuff it into mushrooms. They are so tasty! I will definitely be trying this with crescents now.
ReplyDeletecould i make a batch a few days ahead n freeze them for party
ReplyDeleteIf you do that, bake them first and then freeze them. Just reheat them when you are ready to serve them.
DeleteI love these! I make them like pinwheels rolling half of the mixture in one package of rolls then I add jalapenos to the other half and do the same thing. They are the BEST party food ever! I always have people asking where I got the recipe
