This 4-ingredient Rotel Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents are seriously easy and quick to make. The best part is you can throw together the filling in advance and keep it in the fridge until ready to assemble the crescents. These bad boys are an awesome breakfast, potluck, or party appetizer!

Ingredients

  1. Set the oven to 375 degrees F.

  3. Into triangles, separate the rolls. To make two triangles, cut each triangle in half lengthwise.
  4. Onto each roll, scoop the sausage filling. I used a small cookie scoop. Then, roll each triangle.

Make sure to drain the Rotel tomatoes. Place in a colander and squeeze out any excess liquid using paper towels removing as much moisture as you can.
For this recipe, I used Jimmy Dean Sausage. If desired, you can swap it with turkey sausage.
To help get all the ingredients evenly incorporated, you can pulse the cooked sausage in a food processor until very finely chopped.
