Sausage Cream Cheese Casserole

I was introduced to this recipe a few years ago by a friend. I was a little skeptical about it because I'm not a big pork eater, particularly sausage. It's kind of amazing tho. This will pretty much rock any breakfast table. It's ridiculously simple to make and really easy to eat.

You need 1 pound of sausage. 

Break it up so it will cook evenly over medium heat.

As it browns, break it up some more.

You're going for something along the lines of ground beef here.

You don't want it really chunky.

Once it has been cooked through you need to drain it.

Then put it back in the skillet.

Everything's better with cream cheese. 

The whole thing...

goes into the skillet with the sausage. 

Break it up a little so it gets all melty and stir it into the sausage.

Keep stirring

Looking good!

Spray an 8x8 baking dish with Pam. 

I take a paper towel and spread it around so it's not too greasy.

All greased up and ready to go! 

Add 1/2 a package of crescent rolls to the bottom the dish.

Pinch together the perforations and stretch it up the sides.

Add sausage mixture.

Spread it around.

Add the other half of the crescent rolls.

Again, pinching together the perforations and this time pushing down the sides.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.

It should be golden brown.

It's buttery and flaky on the outside.

Spicy and creamy on the inside. 

Win! Win!

I make it and eat it all day. 

I can't resist.

Sausage Cream Cheese Casserole

1 pound of sausage

1 8 oz. package of cream cheese

1 8 count package crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Break up sausage in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through.

Drain sausage as needed and return to skillet. With the heat turned to low, add the cream cheese.

Melt the cream cheese into the sausage.

Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Place half of the crescent rolls in the bottom of the dish. Stretch them up the sides and pinch together the perforations. 

Add the sausage mixture and add the remaining crescent rolls to the top. Again, pinch together the perforations. Also, push down the sides. 

Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. 

Tip: Need a great idea for party appetizers? Instead of making a casserole, make this with individual crescent rolls. Just add the filling and roll them up. Baking according to package directions. 

It's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
