How to Make Maple Sausage Crescent Rolls

This dish is effortless to make with only four simple ingredients. In a large skillet, cook maple sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink and crumbled. Drain excess grease. In a mixing bowl, stir together cooked sausage crumbles, cream cheese, and maple syrup.

Separate crescent dough into triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise – making 32 triangles.

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each roll and roll up. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
