With Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, my family and I are talking food, family and fun. We’re planning our meals, which will have our traditional favorites as well as a table full of appetizers.
Each year when our families get together there is one delicious appetizer that all of us rave about and it then becomes a tradition too. This year, I think I just might be making a new family tradition when I serve my Cheesy Sausage Crescent Bites! These heavenly bites of yumminess all started with a simple Pillsbury Crescent dinner Roll recipe that I modified a bit. I think you’ll enjoy them as much as my family has and may want to #ThanksgivingWithPillsbury too!
Here’s the list of ingredients you’ll need.
Ingredients:
Makes 40 bites (depending on size of bite you make)
- 1 pound Roasted Red Pepper Sausage (or any bulk sausage flavor you like)
- 2 cups (8oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8oz) Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray, set aside.
- Cook sausage on medium heat until just brown, drain and put in mixing bowl.
- Add cheese and rosemary to bowl and mix with hands or spoon.
- Unroll crescent dough onto floured work surface; coat each side of dough with flour.
- Cut dough into about ¼ -inch pieces with a pizza cutter or knife.
- Mix crescent dough pieces into bowl of sausage mixture in small amounts until well blended.
- Shape mixture into 40 inch sized balls. Place on pan.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
These Cheesy Sausage Crescent bites take about 45 minutes from start to finish, but are well worth the time. They taste fantastic straight from the oven or room temperature. If your family is a fan of finger foods, you’ve got to try these!

"Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll both cans of the dough; separate into 16 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.
Place sausage on shortest side of each triangle. Roll up each, starting at shortest side of triangle and rolling to opposite point; place point side down on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, switching position of cookie sheets halfway through baking. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm."

I'd like to try, and think that I can manage, the Cheese and Bacon Pinwheels; their rolls have always seemed too salty for me when I've done them in the past, so bacon isn't going to help with that!
The Bacon Cheddar Pinwheels look dope! Anything with bacon and cheese = awesome
I also like the apple pie crescents recipe, my family would totally dig them
