* Cream Cheese Sausage Pinwheels *

As with most of my recent recipes, I found this one on Pinterest and I knew my husband would like it.  We tried it out for dinner the other night with some salad and potatoes and it was a hit with boys and my husband! The recipe is found here.

* Cream Cheese Sausage Pinwheels *

1 Roll Breakfast Sausage

1 Tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

1 Pkg Softened Cream Cheese

Brown sausage and drain.  In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage with softened cream cheese. 

Remove crescent roll dough from packaging but do not separate sections, and roll out into a rectangle, sealing the perforated areas with your fingers (so the cream cheese doesn't oooze out of the cracks). 

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough in a thin even layer. Roll the dough lengthwise (if you roll from the short side- the pinwheels will be fatter- but you wont get as many!)  Once rolled up- refrigerate for at least 20 mins (or if you are in a hurry, put it in the freezer til' firm...this will help the dough keep shape while cutting).  Cut in about 1/4" sections and lay on baking sheet. Bake for about 15 mins or until crescent roll is cooked.
