Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (bulk or casings removed)

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (such as Rotel), drained

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 (8 oz) can crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking spray or additional oil for greasing

Fresh cilantro or green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with cooking spray.

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.

      Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, drained diced tomatoes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

        Roll Out Crescents: Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface. Separate it into individual triangles according to the perforations.

          Assemble Crescents: Place a generous spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle with a little shredded cheddar cheese before rolling them up from the wide end to the pointed end.

            Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to expand.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and fully puffed.

                Serve: Once baked, let them cool for a minute. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack!
