Sausage Pinwheels

This is a recipe that my wife makes and everybody seems to like.
We got this from a friend.

So now I'll turn the key board over to her so she can post the recipe. ( It's easier that way!)

Sausage Pinwheels

1 lb bulk sausage (mild or hot - whichever you prefer)
1 lg pkg cream cheese
crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Set the cream cheese out at room temperature (it's easier to mix with the sausage). Brown the sausage and drain thoroughly (with paper towels).

Combine the cream cheese and the sausage in a mixing bowl. Mix together with your hands (it's much easier than using a spoon).

Separate the crescent rolls along the perforations onto a cookie sheet. Take each 'roll' and cut it diagonally to make 2 separate triangles.

Using a spoon, place some of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto each triangle. Use as much or as little as you like. Maybe a 'dollop' size. Fold the edges of the triangle to the center so that it looks like a child's pinwheel. (I'm not too sure these actually look like pinwheels but I didn't come up with the recipe.)

Bake at 375 for the amount of time that the crescent roll pkg states. Usually 9-11 minutes.

One pkg of the 8 count crescent rolls makes 16 pinwheels. The mixture would probably make up to 50 pinwheels, depending on how much you put on each triangle.

These are great appetizers. I made them for the family Christmas party and for our daughter's birthday party and they disappeared in minutes!

Enjoy!!!
