Breakfast Sausage Crescent Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 pound bulk sausage
• 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
3. Prepare Crescent Rolls:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Lay the triangles flat on a clean surface.
4. Stuff and Roll:
Place a small amount of cooked sausage and shredded cheese on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll each triangle tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed tip to encase the filling.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish:
Place the stuffed crescent rolls, seam-side down, in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Make sure they are snug but not overlapping too much.
6. Top with Cheese (Optional):
Sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top of the rolls if desired for a gooey finish.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve:
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack!
