Sausage Squares

These are so divine...and super easy to make. Only 4 ingredients, and you'll be eating your way through a whole pan of these!  Kind of like potato chips....you can't stop at just one!!  :)

• 2 packages crescent rolls
• 1 block cream cheese (I use 1/3 less fat....but only because it makes me feel better about eating so many!!)
• shredded cheddar cheese
• 1lb. sausage

First, scramble your sausage in a skillet until it is done.  We get our sausage from the local butcher in our town....it's the best sausage ever....and it's all we ever use.  However, if you don't live in our area, just use a roll of Jimmy Dean or whathaveyou. Drain off the excess grease.  I even wipe my pan out with a paper towel and then put the sausage back in again.  Now with the heat on LOW, put the package of cream cheese in with the sausage until it all melts.  Just mix it with the sausage really well.  Set aside.

Spread 1 package of the crescent rolls out, leaving them in their rectangle shapes, across a bar type pan (that's what we use...but you can spread them out in a 9 x 13 casserole dish too).  You can use a rolling pin or your hands to mash all the seams together and roll the crescent rolls out to cover the pan.  You should have a great big rectangle when you finish.  You can see pics here on our family blog with our cooking camp posts.

Layer the sausage/cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent rolls.  Spread it out evenly....you don't want one single square to be without this even a little bit when you cut into it!! :)   Now, sprinkle with cheddar cheese....however much you like.  Last, take the other package of crescent rolls and roll them out as best you can.  Sometimes we just stretch ours with our hands and place each rectangle on the top and then try to match all the seams together as best we can!

Next, pop those bad boys in the oven, pre-heated to 350 degrees and bake until the crescents are golden brown. Check 'em in 15-20 minutes and see. 

Oh, and don't burn your mouth....cause you can't get it in there fast enough! :)
