Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 packages (8-ounce each) refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly (about 10 minutes). Drain excess grease and let cool.
- Unroll one package of crescent rolls on wax paper; pinch seams to create a seamless sheet. Spread half of the cream cheese over the dough.
- Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage and half of the cheddar cheese on top, then roll tightly into a log using wax paper for assistance. Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients for a second log.
- Chill both logs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice logs into ½-inch thick pinwheels and place on a baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
