Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 pound ground sausage mild or spicy, depending on your taste
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheese your choice: cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.
For garnishing
  • Optional Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, drained Rotel tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and creamy.
  4. Open the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Place a generous spoonful of the sausage mixture at the widest part of the triangle.
  5. Starting at the wide end, roll the dough around the filling towards the pointed end, sealing it gently. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.
Baking
  1. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and if desired, sprinkle with chopped cilantro for an extra pop of flavor. Serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
