Sausage and Cream Cheese Pinwheels

Gather the ingredients.

Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Spread dough from one package crescent rolls out onto a work surface; pinch perforations together to create a single sheet of dough.

Spread 1/2 of the cream cheese over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch margin on each edge.

Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked sausage evenly over cream cheese.

Starting at a long edge, roll dough around filling into a log; wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Repeat to make and wrap a second roll. Refrigerate rolls until firm, at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Remove rolls from the refrigerator and unwrap. Cut rolls into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
