Description

This casserole is rich, creamy, and packed with savory sausage flavor.
The cream cheese blends perfectly with the sausage, creating a smooth and indulgent filling,
while the crescent dough forms a soft, buttery base. Simple ingredients come together
to make a dish that feels hearty and comforting in every bite.

Tips

• Use spicy sausage for a kick or maple sausage for a sweet-savory flavor.
• Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Crescent dough sheets work best for a smooth, even crust.
• Add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder for extra flavor if desired.

Correction (Troubleshooting)

• Dough undercooked: Bake for an additional 5 minutes or pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes.
• Too greasy: Make sure to drain the sausage thoroughly before adding cream cheese.
• Too rich: Serve with fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the flavors.
