Perfect for parties or a cozy night in, these bites are sure to please any crowd. Ingredients 1 lb. breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature 10 oz. can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, thoroughly drained 2 cans (8 oz. each) of refrigerated crescent rolls Instructions Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF. This ensures an even distribution of heat, setting the stage for perfectly baked crescents. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, softened cream cheese, and the thoroughly drained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Stir until the mixture is uniformly combined. Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough. Slice each triangle in half lengthwise to create two elongated triangles. Fill the Crescents: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, place a portion of the sausage mixture at the wider end of each triangle. Roll the dough towards the pointed end, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed. Bake: Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
