INGREDIENTS
2 packages crescent rolls, preferably buttery flavored
1 16-ounce cream cheese, fat free does not work for this recipe
1 package Italian sausage
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 small fresh onion, minced
Maple syrup, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Cook sausage, garlic powder and onion until brown and lightly crispy; drain sausage; does not have to be rinsed.
Allow sausage to cool to room temperature.
Combine room temperature cream cheese and sausage mixture.
Unroll crescent rolls; cut crescent in half to make a triangle.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture and spoon into each crescent roll.
Wrap mixture up into little ball, making sure the mixture is sealed inside.
Place balls on a cookie sheet and bake for 11 – 14 minutes, depending on the size of the balls; watch as the bottoms may burn.
Remove from oven and cool prior to serving.
Enjoy plain or drizzle maple syrup over appetizer balls.
