By á-46478

Ingredients

• 12 ounces Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Sausage Roll
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onion tops
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted; set aside.

Unroll crescent dough on a greased baking sheet; seal perforations. Roll into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture to within 3 in. of long sides and 1 in of ends. On each long side, cut 3/4-in.-wide strips 3 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternately strips at an angle, forming a braid.

Brush dough with egg. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Refrigerate leftovers.
Yield: 8-10 servings.
