Step 4: Assemble the Bottom Layer
Unroll one of the cans of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish. If you’re using pre-cut crescent rolls, pinch together the seams to form a single, even layer of dough that covers the entire bottom of the dish.
Step 6: Add the Top Layer
Open the second can of crescent roll dough and unroll it over the sausage mixture, creating a “top crust.” Just like with the bottom layer, pinch together any seams if necessary to create a smooth, unbroken sheet of dough.
Step 7: Bake the Casserole
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. You’ll know the casserole is ready when the crescent roll dough has puffed up and turned a beautiful golden brown on top. Check the casserole around the 15-minute mark, and if the top is browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil to prevent over-browning.
Storage Options:
Refrigeration: Store any leftover Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescent Roll Bake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm a portion in the microwave or oven until heated through.
Freezing: This dish freezes well for future meals. Allow the casserole to cool completely before wrapping individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the portions in the refrigerator overnight and warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
This casserole is incredibly versatile and can be served in a variety of ways depending on the meal or occasion:
