Description

These Sausage Cream Cheese Rotel Crescent Rolls are packed with savory sausage, tangy cream cheese, and a kick from Rotel tomatoes. Wrapped in buttery crescent rolls and baked to golden perfection, they’re a hit at any gathering.


Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained well
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and well-drained Rotel tomatoes. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Assemble the Rolls:
    • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make smaller, skinnier triangles.
    • Place a spoonful (about 1 tbsp) of the sausage mixture on the wider end of each triangle. Roll up towards the narrow end, encasing the filling.
  • Bake:
    • Arrange the filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
  • Serve: Serve warm, optionally with ranch dressing or sriracha mayo for dipping.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Variations: Add shredded cheddar cheese to the filling for extra creaminess, or use spicy sausage for a kick.
