Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 2 (8-ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain the excess grease and set the sausage aside.

  2. 2

    Lay out a sheet of wax paper and spray it with cooking spray. Unroll one package of crescent rolls onto the wax paper. Pinch the perforations together to create a seamless sheet of dough.

  3. 3

    Spread half of the softened cream cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle half the cooked sausage and half the shredded cheddar over the cream cheese.

  4. 4

    Using the wax paper to assist you, carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a log, encasing the filling. Wrap the log tightly in a plastic wrap.

  5. 5

    Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create a second log.

  6. 6

    Refrigerate the wrapped logs for at least an hour or until they are firm enough to slice.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the logs from the refrigerator and unwrap them. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Bake the pinwheels in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until they're golden brown.

  9. 9

    Remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious sausage and cheddar pinwheels!
