Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb bulk pork breakfast sausage, mild or hot
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, packed (8 oz / 225 g)
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or crescent sheet (8 oz / 235 g)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Stir in the cheese until it melts.
  3. Pinch and press the crescent roll dough to form a solid sheet. Spread half of it in the baking dish as a bottom crust.
  4. Spoon the sausage mixture over the crust, and then cover it with the remaining crescent dough.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or quick dinner. Pair with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara for added flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months. For extra flavor, add garlic powder or onion powder to the sausage mixture.
