  • 🍅 1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
  • 🥐 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 🌿 Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

📝 Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  1. Cook the Sausage:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  1. Prepare the Filling:
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and drained Rotel tomatoes. Mix until well combined.

  1. Fill and Roll:
  • Spoon a tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
  • Starting at the wide end, roll up each triangle, tucking the ends under to seal. Place the filled crescents seam-side down on the baking sheet.
