Easy Crescent Roll Breakfast Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package bulk pork sausage
• 0.5 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a skillet, cook the pork sausage over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Add the Neufchatel cheese and cook, stirring constantly, until well combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange half of the rolls in an 8x8-inch glass baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid crust. Spread the sausage and Neufchatel cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll base. Sprinkle generously with Cheddar cheese. Top with the remaining crescent rolls, pressing gently to seal.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the filling is set, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into 8 equal squares and serving.
