Crescent Sausage Cream Cheese Rolls: A Perfect Party Pleaser
By Ines from Ineskohl Kitchen
Ingredients & Flavor Breakdown
- ½ pound sausage – Choose turkey for a lighter bite or pork for a rich, savory flavor. This is your main source of protein and spice.
- 2 oz cream cheese, cubed – Provides a smooth, velvety richness that balances the meatiness of the sausage.
- 1 pack crescent rolls (8-count) – These buttery, flaky rolls serve as the perfect wrap for your filling.
- 2 tsp dry ranch seasoning – Adds a tangy, herbaceous kick that enhances the entire bite with a zesty twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a golden, evenly baked finish.
- Cook the sausage in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles as it cooks until browned and fully cooked through.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the cubed cream cheese. Let it slowly melt, stirring constantly to create a uniform, creamy mixture.
- Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning and stir until completely combined. Set mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon sausage mixture evenly onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll them up from the wide end to the point, tucking in sides if needed to contain filling.
- Bake for 11–13 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Cool slightly before serving—filling will be hot!
