maple sausage cheddar rolls

Course Appetizer, Breakfast, Side Dish, Snack
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 16 rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz) cans crescent rolls
  • 1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage (I used Jimmy Dean’s hot version)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cut into chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup toasted pecan pieces
  • maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (don’t skip this step!!! otherwise you’ll end up ruining your baking sheet with baked maple syrup)...

  3. Brown sausage in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until cooked through and crumbly (~10 minutes?). Next, stir in cream cheese chunks and shredded cheddar cheese until it’s all melted together (2-3 minutes). Finally, mix in the toasted pecan pieces then remove the skillet from heat.

  4. Roll out crescent rolls onto a cutting board. Scoop and place a solid spoonful of sausage cheese mixture (like two tablespoons) on the large end (base) of the crescent roll triangle. Roll up the crescent roll like normal then set it on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all the rolls are filled and rolled up. Drizzle maple syrup over tops of rolls then bake them for 16-18 minutes or until golden.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy!!!!!!
