Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground sausage
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Sausage:
   • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
   • Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3. Combine Sausage and Cheese:
   • Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet.
   • Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and well combined with the sausage.
   • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
4. Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
   • Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer.
5. Add the Sausage Mixture:
   • Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the layer of crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
6. Top with More Crescent Rolls:
   • Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay the dough over the sausage mixture, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
8. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
