Left out the jalapeno… not a spicy fan. But they are amazing!
Thank you for the feedback Kelly and I am glad you enjoyed the recipe.
No shame in that Kelly! I completely understand.
Thanks for sharing!
Can I freeze them after they are baked to reheat at a later date?
Hello Heather, you can freeze them–however, I would not bake them as long—cut the time a few minutes so they are not too brown when reheated.
I wonder how’d they taste with some scrambled eggs on the sausage?
My mom makes something similar with eggs, I believe she undercooked the eggs before adding them so they wouldn’t taste rubbery. It’s also was good!!
I made these last night – just a half batch to try them out. DELISH. I will certainly make them again. Thank you for this recipe!

This is a new winner in our house! Followed recipe but added chili pepper instead of onion & jalapeno.
I made sausage mixture then chilled an hour then used melon baller for amt into open crescent rolls. Before placing in oven I sprinkled cheddar cheese.
Cooked for 15 minutes.
