Cream Cheese Sausage Loaves

Ingredients

• 1 lb. pack Sunset Farm Foods Market Style Mild or Hot Fresh Sausage Loaf
• 1 8 oz pack cream cheese
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
• 2 cans Crescent rolls (or crescent roll dough sheets which work better due to lack of seams)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (your choice)

Instructions

• Preheat oven according to temperature on crescent roll package and grease a baking sheet (will need to be a larger sheet such as a 16x12 cookie sheet).
• Dice cream cheese and set aside.
• Brown sausage, cooking thoroughly.
• Add in diced bell peppers. Cook approximately 3 - 5 minutes or until slightly tender.
• Drain grease from the meat.
• Add in cream cheese and stir until combined. You can make sure the cheese is melted thoroughly or leave it slightly lumpy. Either way is fine.
• Open one package of crescent rolls and unroll so that it is flat on the cookie sheet. Spoon a line of the meat mixture down the center of the dough, leaving enough room on the sides and ends to pinch the dough shut into a loaf form.
• Fold the sides and the ends closed once the meat mixture is on the dough and roll over so that it is seam side down.
• Repeat with the second loaf.
• Bake for 5 minutes less than the time recommended on the crescent roll package.
• For the last 5 minutes, remove the loaves and top with the shredded cheese. Replace in oven so that the cheese melts and browns.
• Remove and enjoy!
