This was a great recipe, and I wish I had doubled the recipe!
Thank you, Jeanette! I apologize for the late response!
I made this recipe for Christmas morning, and the entire family loved it. I didn’t have jalapeno peppers but had red chilies I used instead. We will be saving it to make again.
That sounds wonderful, Latisha!
These turned out awesome!
FYI: the original recipe was on jimmy dean sausage recipe page years ago (no longer on there, but it was slightly different:
1 lb ground sausage of your choice hot or mild, 1 8oz cream cheese, 1 cup diced green peppers, 1 cup diced sweet onions, (1 cup jalapeno dice if you like) fry the sausage peppers, onions in skillet salt pepper to taste, drain really well then mix w/cream cheese in a bowl. Grease an 8×8 pan, then line the pan bottom & sides w/crescent rolls, then pour & smooth the filling mix in on the crescent rolls then top w/a layer of the crescent rolls, bake 350 for 30 min or until golden brown. Double the recipe for a 9×13 pan. But I like your recipe here for the individual rolls too. We will be making your recipe again!
Thanks, Sandra! I appreciate you letting me know.
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!!
