Ingredients
– 1 tube of refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 1 pound of ground sausage (I like to use spicy for a kick!)
– 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (optional, but makes clean-up easy)
– Mixing bowl
– Wooden spoon or spatula
– Pastry brush
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you gather your ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and crumbly; this usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain any excess grease and let it cool for a moment. Stir in the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until everything is nicely combined and creamy. This filling is utterly delicious!
