These sausage cups are quick-and-easy appetizers made with pork sausage, cream cheese, and vegetables. They make a tasty one-bite treat for any gathering. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular Sausage
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces garden vegetable cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- ¼ cup finely chopped green onion
- 2 (8 ounce) packages crescent roll sheets
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Add sausage to a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and let cool.
Step 3
Combine regular and vegetable cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bell pepper, green onion, and cooled, crumbled sausage in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Step 4
Unroll 1 crescent dough sheet and press it into a 9×12-inch rectangle. Cut 6 rows across and 4 rows vertically to yield 24 squares. Repeat with second package of dough.
Step 5
Place 1 square in each cup of two nonstick 24-cup mini muffin tins, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides.
Step 6
Drop 1 heaping teaspoon of sausage filling into each cup. Filling should be up to the top of the cup, but you do not need to press it down.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
Step 8
Cool for 5 minutes in the tins before removing to a platter.
Tips
If you can't find crescent dough sheets, you can substitute two 8-ounce cans of crescent dough rolls. When you roll out, be sure to tightly press all seams together before cutting them into squares.
