If crescent rolls aren’t already your best friend, they sure will be once you’ve made a batch of these sausage crescent rolls. This store-bought dough is the base for many crescent dough recipes<\/a>, which demonstrates how versatile and easy crescent rolls are to work with.<\/p>\n No kneading is required when making sausage and crescent rolls; you don\u2019t even have to punch it down. Just pop the dough out of the can, separate it into pieces, add the filling and stick the rolls in the oven. The best part is that this entire recipe, from start to finish, takes only 30 minutes.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, combine the sausage, garlic powder, parsley, Parmesan cheese, basil and 2 tablespoons of beaten egg.<\/p>\n Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into two rectangles. Place the rectangles on an ungreased baking sheet, then seal their perforations. Spoon half the sausage mixture into the center of each rectangle. Sprinkle each rectangle with cheddar cheese. Roll the rectangles up from a long side, then pinch the seam to seal. Brush the rectangles with the remaining egg.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip: <\/em>If you don\u2019t have a pastry brush, make one with parchment paper and a pair of scissors. Cut slits into the edge of the parchment paper to make fringe. Then use that fringe piece as your brush.<\/p>\n Bake the rolls at 350\u00b0F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden. Cut the rolls into slices, and serve them warm.<\/p>\n After these rolls are cooked, it\u2019s easy to keep them in the fridge or freezer until you want to enjoy them again. The key is to store them in an airtight container or resealable storage bag.<\/p>\n Because these are already individually portioned, you don\u2019t need to chill the rolls on a baking sheet before putting them in resealable freezer bags and into the freezer. They can all be placed in one bag or airtight, freezer-safe storage container. If stored in the freezer, they will last for up to two months.<\/p>\n If you have leftovers, it\u2019s okay to store them in the fridge for up to four days. Just be sure they are stored in an airtight container that\u2019s covered.<\/p>\n Yes, absolutely! Follow the recipe and then, after the rolls have cooled, store them in the fridge. Reheat the rolls either in the microwave on a high setting for 30 seconds, or bake them again in the oven at 350\u00b0 for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Yes, you can use gluten-free crescent rolls to make these sausage crescent rolls.<\/p>\n Using frozen vegetables, we recommend any of these quick, easy\u00a0frozen vegetable recipes<\/a>, from broccoli scalloped potatoes<\/a> to creamy jalapeno corn<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sure, you can make turkey or chicken crescent rolls; just add either of these two meats, cooked, to the recipe and follow the other steps. Both proteins are leaner than pork, so these would be lighter alternatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Loaded with pork sausage and cheese, these fun, golden brown sausage
