What You Need To Make This Rotel Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents Recipe?
Breakfast Sausage: For breakfast sausage choose the type you prefer. Whether it’s mild, spicy, or a unique flavor blend. Pork sausage is an option. You can also go for turkey sausage if you want something leaner. If using links make sure to remove the casings before cooking and crumbling them.
Cream Cheese: To ensure your cream cheese blends smoothly with the ingredients it’s important to soften it. Leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes. Softened cream cheese will give you a delicious filling.
Rotel Tomatoes: When working with Rotel tomatoes and green chilies be thorough, in draining them. Excess moisture can make your crescents soggy so use a fine mesh strainer or paper towels to remove liquid as possible.
Refrigerated Crescent Rolls: For this recipe, you’ll need two 8-ounce cans of refrigerated crescent rolls. You can find these in the refrigerated section of grocery stores. The crescent rolls come pre-cut into triangles making the preparation process quick and effortless.

Savor the gooey, cheesy delight!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these ahead of time?
Sure thing! You can definitely prepare the crescents in advance. Just cover them up. Pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. Remember to add a few minutes to the baking time if they’ve been chilled.
Can I use spicy sausage for a kick?
Absolutely! If you fancy a kick go ahead. Swap out the regular sausage, for some spicy sausage. It’ll add a burst of flavor that you’ll love.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
When it comes to leftovers (although it’s rare!) make sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want that fresh out of the oven taste again simply reheat them in the oven.
