How to Make Sausage Cheese Crescent Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll one can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and separate into two long rectangles.
  3. Place one rectangle in an ungreased 13x9 inch baking dish. Press it into the bottom and about ½ inch up the sides to form a crust.
  4. In a large skillet, cook 1 lb of sausage (browned and crumbled), 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper (optional) over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are softened.
  5. Remove the sausage mixture from the skillet, leaving the drippings behind.
  6. Add 4 oz (1 package) of softened cream cheese to the skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in the cooked sausage mixture until well combined.
  8. Evenly spoon the sausage and cream cheese mixture over the crescent roll crust in the baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the sausage mixture.
  10. Unroll the second can (8 oz) of crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface and press it into a 13x9 inch rectangle.
  11. Carefully place the second rectangle of dough over the cheese layer.
  12. Bake for 21-26 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
