How to cook deliciously - Sausage Pinwheels

1. Stage

In a large skillet, cook the bulk sausage over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Add the diced red pepper and chopped green onion, and continue cooking for another couple of minutes until the vegetables are softened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese until blended and then let the mixture cool completely.

2. Stage

Unroll one can of crescent dough and separate it into four 6x4-1/2-inch rectangles, pinching the perforations to seal. Spread each rectangle with 1/3 cup filling to within 1/4 inch of the edges. Roll a rectangle up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Pinch the seams to seal and roll gently to make the log smooth. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet seam side down. Repeat with the remaining crescent dough.

3. Stage

For easier slicing, freeze the rolled dough logs until firm, about one hour. After chilling, slice each log into 10 slices using a sharp knife.

4. Stage

Bake at 350°F on parchment-lined baking sheets until golden brown, for 15 to 18 minutes.
