Sweet Sausage Crescent Rolls
Sweet Sausage Rolls were a recipe I originally made something like 5-10 years ago and just never got around to taking pictures. Better late than never, right?
It is a very rich, comforting sort of breakfast dish. It definitely leans to the sweet side of sweet and savory. The crescent rolls stay pretty soft even after baking and soak up a bunch of the sweet, buttery sauce.
The recipe doesn’t specify which type of nuts to use, so go with whatever is your preference and affordable for you. I used walnuts but pecans would also be great. Enjoy!

How interesting! Like pigs in a blanket with caramel… I wish I had one to try!
These sound so good, but I feel like I shouldn't make it for the two of us because eating the whole pan would be bad? Guess we need to invited some friends for breakfast!
