Rotel Sausage Cream Cheese Rolls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 lb cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or Italian sausage
02 -
8 oz softened cream cheese
03 -
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies, very well drained
04 -
2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and drained Rotel until well combined.
03 -
Open crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create slimmer triangles.
04 -
Use a small scoop or spoon to place filling on the widest end of each triangle. Roll tightly toward the tip and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 -
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
06 -
Let the rolls cool slightly for about 5 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy as-is or with a dipping sauce like ranch.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, ensure the Rotel tomatoes are very well drained to prevent soggy filling.
02 -
The crescent rolls can be prepared and baked ahead of time, then warmed before serving.
