These crescents have the perfect blend of cheesiness, spiciness, and sweetness. The cream cheese provides the perfect flavor to complement the spicy-sweet Italian Sausage's flavor. Oh, and they are absolutely DELICIOUS!

1-lb breakfast sausage (any variety--I used Bob Evans' Sage Pork Breakfast Sausage)
1 8-oz package cream cheese (original or low-fat)
2 (8-ct.) canisters refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury always works for me)

1. Brown and break up the sausage in a medium saucepan. Turn off heat.
2. Add the cream cheese to the cooked sausage; stir.
3. Unroll and separate the crescent roll dough into triangles;
4. Fill each crescent roll dough triangle with about 1-1/2 (one and a half) tablespoons of the sausage-cheese mixture; roll it up crescent roll-style
   
5. Bake for as long as your crescent roll canister's instructions say, (Pillsbury's says about 11 minutes) or until the crescents are golden brown!
   

This lasagna is soo good. It's like eating a taco, only with 10 times more flavor than one.
