Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
-
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Combine Sausage and Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet.
Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and well combined with the sausage.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer.
Add the Sausage Mixture:
Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Top with More Crescent Rolls:
Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay the dough over the sausage mixture, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
