Rotel Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents – Easy Party Appetizer Recipe

Ingredients:

1 lb ground sausage
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cans crescent roll dough (8 oz each)

Instructions:

Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.

Make the Filling:
Add the softened cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage and stir until melted and fully combined. Stir in the drained Rotel until evenly mixed.

Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate it into triangles.

Fill and Roll:
Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll each crescent from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling.

Bake:
Arrange the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve:
Allow them to cool slightly, then serve warm.
