Are you looking for a great and easy appetizer? This just might be it! Three ingredients, simple and yummy! I used “hot” Jimmy Dean Sausage but you can use whatever you like. Maple would be terrific with this recipe!! These were gone very quickly in my house. I will be making a double batch next time!
INGREDIENTS
1 roll of sausage
1 tube of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 package softened cream cheese (8 ounces)
DIRECTIONS
Brown sausage and drain. In a large bowl combine sausage and softened cream cheese. Remove dough from package but do not separate the sections. Roll out into a rectangle sealing the perforations as you go. This is an important step you don’t want the filling oozing out! Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough in a thin layer. Roll the dough lengthwise (if you roll from the short side you won’t get as many pinwheels.) Once rolled, refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or put in the freezer for a few minutes if you are in a rush. You want the dough to firm up. Once firm, cut the roll into 1/4 inch sections and lay on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the dough is cooked through.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!

This would be another great dish to serve for holiday get togethers. This makes two large baking dishes. You can prepare the dish ahead and pop it in the oven just before guests arrive. You can also change up the type of sausage you use, spicy, italian or even sweet sausage would all be great! Add a salad and garlic bread and youl will have some happy people!! My family really enjoyed this dish and it is already on my dinner rotation!

Are you looking for something to do with that leftover stuffing? Last year I wrapped my sausage stuffing in bacon and drizzled it with maple syrup. This year I will spare you a few calories! My sausage stuffing has a lot going on in it so these are simply mixed with cheese and egg to help bind it and then rolled and baked I served these over a bed of gravy. The texture and flavor does change. The outside is crispy and the inside soft with hints of cheese!
INGREDIENTS
3 cups of leftover stuffing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 eggs
Leftover gravy, warmed
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine all of the ingredients except the gravy and mix well. Roll the stuffing into about one inch balls and place on a prepared baking sheet. Do this until all of the stuffing has been rolled. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the tops are slightly browned. Remove from oven and serve over warm gravy.
Enjoy!
