Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). -
Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked and crumbled sausage with the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. -
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
Place 1-2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. -
Roll the Crescents:
Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly, enclosing the filling.
Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on a baking sheet. -
Bake:

Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the crescents in advance and store the unbaked rolls in the refrigerator. Bake just before serving.
- Freezing: These can be frozen before baking. Once rolled, place the crescents on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra few minutes to the baking time.
