Recipe Introduction


These are seriously addicting. I have never been able to stop eating these until they were gone. I have never KNOWN anyone who could, either! I have put Alice's original recipe, as is. When I make these, I usually use frozen puff pastry instead of the crescent rolls. I have also substituted smoked salmon for the sausage and added some dill and mustard for a good result. Irresistable, I promise!





List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. mild or hot sausage (bulk, like you serve for breakfast)
  
• 1 white onion, finely, finely minced
  
• 2 - 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese
  
• 2 cans of crescent rolls
  






Instructions



1. Crumble sausage, add onion and cook. Drain very well. Mix with cream cheese while still warm. Cool.
   
2. Roll out packages of crescent rolls into two rectangles. Pinch at perforations.
   
3. Spread dough with cream cheese mixture. Roll up and refrigerate until firm. Slice into 1/2" slices (the easiest way to do this and get perfectly round pieces is to use dental floss to "garrotte" the slices).
   
4. Bake slices at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. (If you use the puff pastry, use the package directions for temperature and time.)
