Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until fully browned. Break it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

3. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheese. Stir until everything is well mixed. Add pepper to taste.

4. Prepare the crescents: Open the crescent roll cans and separate the dough into triangles.

5. Fill and roll: Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up toward the narrow end like a crescent.

6. Bake: Place crescents on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Cool slightly and serve warm. Optional: sprinkle with parsley or more cheese while still hot for extra flair.
