Cream Cheese Sausage Pinwheels

Pinterest-Ann Glenn, (abiteofmylife.blogspot)

Ingredients:

-1 Roll Breakfast Sausage
-1 Tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
-1 Pkg Softened Cream Cheese


Directions:

1. Brown sausage and drain.  In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage with softened cream cheese.
2.  Remove crescent roll dough from packaging do not separate sections, and roll out into a rectangle, sealing the perforated areas with your fingers- so the cream cheese doesn't ooze out of the cracks! 
   
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough in a thin even layer.
   
4.  Roll the dough lengthwise (if you roll from the short side- the pinwheels will be fatter- but you wont get as many!)
   
5. Once rolled up- refrigerate for at least 20 minutes- or if you are in a hurry like I usually am, put it in the freezer til' firm... this will help the dough keep shape while cutting.
6. Cut in about 1/4" sections and lay on baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes or until crescent roll is cooked.
