Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
You only need:
- 500g (1 lb) sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
- 225g (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or similar pastry dough)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures even cooking and helps the casserole bake to a golden, flaky finish.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
Place a skillet over medium heat and add the sausage.
- Break it apart using a spatula as it cooks
- Stir occasionally until fully browned
- Make sure there’s no pink left
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to avoid a greasy casserole.
Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese
Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese directly into the skillet with the sausage.
- Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts
- Mix until the texture becomes smooth and creamy
- Ensure the sausage is evenly coated
This step creates a rich, flavorful filling that binds everything together.
Step 4: Prepare the Baking Dish
Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9×13 inches works well).
- Unroll the crescent dough
- Press it into the bottom of the dish
- Seal any perforations to form a solid base
This will act as the crust for your casserole.
Step 5: Add the Filling
Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
- Use a spatula to distribute it smoothly
- Make sure it reaches the edges for even bites
