Looking for quick and easy party food? Three-ingredient Crescent Sausage Bites are super simple and always a party hit!
Shoooooo! Cold weather has finally hit down here in the South. And I. Don't. Like it.
Okay, now I know I really don't have anything even remotely close to being okay to complain about. Because, truly, temperatures in the 20s and 30s are not actually cold. I grew up in Vermont. I do understand what true cold is.
But now ...
I'm a woose. Thin-blooded, sun-lovin', warm-weather-spoiled woose.
70 degrees? Light sweater weather for me. 50 degrees? Turtleneck sweater. And a coat. Definitely a coat. Maybe even breaking out the mid-length winter wool coat and gloves. 30s? Most definitely full-length winter wool coat. Buttoned all the way up. And gloves.
Below 30? Can't even stand to think about it.
How on Earth did I survive growing up in Vermont?? It's a perplexing question. One that my husband poses all the time.
With just 3 simple ingredients, you can bake up a batch of these tasty Crescent Sausage Bites in a jiff.
So, what to do, what to do to brave the{I know not-so-really}cold temperatures? ... aside from bundling up in 32 layers of clothing?
Enjoy body-warming comfort food, of course. Like these super easy 3-ingredient Crescent Sausage Bites ... made withhotsausage.
Though technically party fare, we don't relegate these tasty little bites solely to parties. I also whip these up to serve alongside a nice bowl of veggie soup for dinner. Mmmmm ... soup and hot sausage, that'll sure warm the belly. They're also great for breakfast or brunch, too.
I just vary the size I cut the squares to fit the occasion ~ small bites for parties, and larger squares for breakfast/brunch or dinner.
These have actually become one of our 7-year-old daughter's favorite dinner meals. Whenever I buy the ingredients to make them, she gets so excited and then asks over and over what night we're going to have them. I mix up a little fruit salad to go alongside for a quick and easy dinner.
The leftovers {if there are any} then become our daughter's breakfast the next morning. I swear, she could eat these for every meal every day and be quite content.
As yummy as these are, it's nice that they're super easy to make, too. With just 3 simple ingredients, you can bake up a batch of these tasty Crescent Sausage Bites in a jiff.
Just fry up some sausage, mix it with cream cheese, and sandwich it between two layers of crescent roll dough. Bake it and use a pizza cutter to easily cut it into small squares. Done!
Though technically party fare, we don't relegate these tasty little bites solely to parties.
And you know what?
These are always a hugeparty hit. Huge.
Especially with the guys, it seems. I think because they've got meat in them, and we all know guys go for the meat. Not to mention, the combination of sausage and cream cheese slathered between crescent roll layers just plain tastes good.
They've become my go-to party fare. If you come over to my house or ask me to bring a dish to your party, you can be pretty sure I'll be serving up a platter of Crescent Sausage Bites. In fact, at this point I think it's just become an expectation that I bring these to parties and get-togethers with our friends! I do believe I'd be in trouble if I showed up without them.
So, wherever you are, stay warm! And whip up some comfort food like these little Sausage Bites to warm your bellies, my friends.

3-Ingredient Crescent Sausage Bites
Looking for quick and easy party food? Three-ingredient Crescent Sausage Bites are super simple and always a party hit!
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 35 Min
Ingredients
- 1 lb. hot sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
- 2 packages crescent rolls
- Dash salt & ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a saute pan, brown sausage; drain. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted.
- Unroll one package of crescent rolls and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. With your fingers, gently press the seams together to seal them. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
- Unroll the remaining package of crescent rolls and place on top of the sausage mixture. Press the edges together to seal. Gently press the seams together.
- Bake at 375℉ for about 15-20 minutes, or until crescent roll dough is golden brown.
- Cut into small squares and serve. (A pizza cutter makes really quick and easy work of the cutting.)
TRACEY'S NOTES:
- Enjoy Crescent Sausage Bites as party food, or with some fresh fruit for an easy breakfast, brunch or dinner dish.
- You can use hot or mild sausage in these bites. -- Both are delicious.
- And a note for those counting the ingredients and thinking, "Hey, there's 4 ingredients listed, not just 3 as Tracey claims." - Salt and pepper generally aren't counted when counting ingredients.
