How to Make Tuzzi Bites

  1. Brown 1 pound of Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Return the sausage to the skillet. Stir in 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until melted and combined.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  4. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and gently press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch the seams together to create a sealed layer.
  5. Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll layer.
  6. Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the sausage mixture. Pinch the seams together to seal.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before cutting into bite-sized squares and serving. Enjoy!
