1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

# Steps:

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground sausage until thoroughly browned. Drain excess fat and transfer sausage to a mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix until evenly blended.

Roll each triangle up from the wide end, securing the filling inside. Arrange filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each piece.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each crescent for enhanced flavor, if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crescents are golden brown.

Allow crescents to cool for several minutes before serving. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or breakfast item.

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing with the sausage for a smooth, even filling.
