Learn how to make delicious Sausage, Rotel & Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground sausage (spicy or mild, depending on your preference)
  • 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cans of crescent roll dough
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Feel free to substitute ground turkey for a lighter option or cheddar cheese for a sharper taste. These rolls are as versatile as they are delicious, allowing you to experiment based on your pantry and palate.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the drained Rotel tomatoes and garlic powder to the sausage. Stir well to combine, letting the flavors meld for about 2 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat and mix in the cream cheese until fully incorporated and creamy.
  5. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  6. Roll up each crescent, starting from the wide end and tucking the edges slightly to seal in the filling.
  7. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Once baked, let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

These steps are simple, yet they yield a dish that’s sure to impress both family and friends. Remember, cooking is an art, and you’re the artist in your kitchen!
