Sausage & Cream Cheese Breakfast Delight!!

Girls, this is just 'downright' delicious! A lady at Noonday brought these in one Sunday for sunday school, I think me and another girl ate 4 or 5, I mean they are THAT GOOD!! I have since made them for a breakfast for a large group on a trip and also for an appetizer for a dinner at my grandmothers. Both times they were a hit! GREAT for breakfast, cheap and easy and kids even love them!!! :) And did I mention SUPER EASY??? Gear up girls, a double recipe might be due :)

Ingredients:
1 lb Jimmy Dean Sausage (the kind in the roll shape usually by the bacon)
1 package of cream cheese
2 packages of crescent rolls

-Brown sausage on stove, drain and keep in pan.
-Add cream cheese to sausage while still warm, heat until it melts
-Take out your crescents and on each triangle place a large spoonful of mixture on each. "Wrap" up best you can (they don't have to look pretty bc they'll bake pretty)
-Bake about 10-15 min at 350 or until crescents start to look 'done' :)

Yields: about 17 crescents

**The first time I made it for a group of 10 I didn't double the recipe but should have, and for a group of 23 I did double the recipe and it was great. Many people eat more than one!!**
