Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk pork sausage
- 2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly (about 10 minutes). Drain excess grease and cool.
- On wax paper sprayed lightly with cooking spray, unroll one package of crescent rolls and pinch perforations to form a seamless sheet.
- Spread half of the softened cream cheese over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log using the wax paper for assistance and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Repeat with the second package of crescent rolls and remaining ingredients.
- Chill logs for at least 1 hour until firm enough to slice.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Unwrap logs and slice each into ½-inch-thick pinwheels.
- Arrange on a baking sheet with space between each pinwheel and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
