Ingredients:
Crescent roll dough: 2 cans (8 ounces each)
Pork sausage crumbles: ~20 ounces
Cream cheese: 8 ounces
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when your casserole is assembled. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter to prevent the crescent roll dough from sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In a medium skillet, cook the pork sausage crumbles over medium heat. Stir frequently, breaking the sausage apart with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through with no pink remaining. If your sausage has rendered a lot of fat, drain the excess grease from the skillet.
Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Filling
Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the sausage, creating a smooth and creamy mixture. Once the filling is ready, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
