Life just got better with this 3-ingredient sensation

The 3 Ingredient Sausage Cream Cheese Casserole, a seemingly simple dish, stands out with its comforting and savory flavors. Its origins may not be steeped in any particular culinary tradition, but it's found a place in the hearts of those who love straightforward, satisfying meals with minimal fuss. The use of crescent rolls adds a buttery, flaky texture that pairs delightfully with the hearty filling of sausage and cream cheese. This casserole is a versatile dish that works for breakfast, brunch, or even a casual dinner, offering the warmth and heartiness that is beloved in home-style cooking.

Serving this sumptuous casserole can be quite an experience. It's rich and filling on its own but becomes a rounded-out meal with a few simple sides. A light salad, dressed with a vinaigrette, can cut through the richness and add a fresh element to the meal. If it's being served for breakfast or brunch, a fruit salad could complement the savory flavors with a little sweetness and tartness. For those who prefer a heartier accompaniment, roasted vegetables or a cup of warm soup can elevate this simple casserole to a complete dinner.

Ingredients:

- 2 can of crescent roll dough (8 ounces each)
- Pork sausage crumbles (~20 ounces)
- 8 ounces of cream cheese

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it comes to the right temperature for baking your casserole.

2. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, stirring and breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

3. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet with the sausage. Stir together until the cream cheese is well incorporated with the sausage and the mixture is creamy. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

4. Next, unroll the can of crescent dough and gently press it into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, making sure to cover the entire surface. You may need to pinch together any seams if using crescent roll pieces to create a single layer of dough.

5. Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.

6. Layer second can on top of the sausage mixture to create a "top crust."

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough has puffed up and turned a golden brown.

8. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

9. Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy your delicious 3 Ingredient Sausage Cream Cheese Casserole!
