Hi friends! I’ve got a recipe I think y’all are going to love. You went so crazy for my Sausage Cheddar Pinwheels last year, that I wanted to come up with a similarly easy and delicious sausage recipe. Enter Cheesy Sausage Squares. Sausage, cheese, tomatoes and chilies sandwiched between flaky crescent roll dough. It makes a delicious appetizer or snack, but you could also cut them into larger pieces for a fun dinner for the fam!

I’m excited to partner with Odom’s Tennessee Pride Country Sausage again to bring you this recipe. I turn to Odom’s for high quality fresh pork made with a family secret spice blend that adds great flavor to any recipe. You can count on Odom’s Tennessee Pride Country Sausage for a hearty breakfast, but I also love incorporating it into recipes appropriate for all times of day, like these Cheesy Sausage Squares.

Ingredients

1 pound ground sausage
1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
8oz block cream cheese
2 cans crescent roll dough
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375
Heat pan over medium-high heat, add sausage and break into crumbles, cooking until no longer pink
Finely dice tomatoes and chilies
Turn heat down to medium, drain pan, and add tomatoes and chilies, stirring to combine
Add cream cheese to pan and stir until melted and fully combined
Remove sausage mixture from heat
Spray a 9×11 baking dish with nonstick spray
Spread one of the crescent roll doughs in the bottom of the pan, pinching seams together so you have a flat sheet
Spread sausage mixture over the dough
Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture
Spread the remaining can of crescent roll dough over top of the cheese, pinching seams together so you have a flat sheet
Bake for 20-24 minutes until golden brown
Let cool for at least ten minutes before cutting into squares and serving

I made these for a brunch last week and am already itching to make them again! I think they would be a great tailgate snack and will also probably become a go-to for holiday entertaining.
