Cream Cheese Sausage Puffs


from the Jimmy Dean website

1 pkg Regular Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
1 C. finely chopped mushrooms
1 bunch thinly sliced green onions (about 1 cup)
2 pkgs (3oz each) cream cheese, softened
salt & black pepper to taste
3 cans (8.5oz each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp water

Preheat oven to 375F. In a large skillet, cook sausage & mushrooms over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until meat is thoroughly cooked & no longer pink. Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly. Stir in green onions & cream cheese season to taste with salt & pepper (I usually skip this). Unroll the cans of dough; separate crescent rolls into 24 triangles; cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 48 triangles. Place 2 tsp of filling near the wide edge at base of triangle; form into a small log shape. Roll dough & meat towards the point of the triangle, enclosing the filling (filling will be visible at the sides). Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush egg mixture on top of each puff. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Discard any remaining egg mixture.

Makes 48 puffs.

**One of my favorite "party" foods. I love these. They are rich but delicious!! I usually skip the mushrooms (because I don't usually have them). Tonight I didn't split the triangles & made giant ones for super. YUMMY!
