Notes
-
- I used Jimmy Dean Sausage. Can substitute turkey sausage.
- I like to pulse the cooked sausage in the food processor a few times to make sure it is chopped very fine.
- Can substitute low-fat cream cheese if you prefer.
- Can use reduced-fat crescent rolls. I use the reduced fat crescent rolls all the time. You can’t tell a difference.
- The filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated up to 3 days.
- I use a pizza cutter to cut the crescent rolls in half. It makes it much easier!
- I use a small cookie scoop to scoop the filling on to the crescent rolls.
- These bites taste great hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature.
