Prep Time20 minsCook Time18 minsTotal Time38 mins
 1 package Crescent dough sheet (or crescent rolls, just seal the perforations)
 1 package Lit’l Smokies cocktail sausages
 ¼ cup jalapeno (from the jar)
 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
 ¼ cup bacon bits (or 3 slices of bacon cooked until crisp and crumbled)

Preheat the oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3

Unroll the crescent dough and spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire dough surface. Sprinkle grated cheese on top.

4

Slice the dough (a pizza cutter works well) into about 1″ strips then cut those strips into thirds.

5

Working one at a time, add one sausage link to the cut strip and roll, pressing to seal them. Transfer to the baking sheet seam side down. Continue until they are all rolled.
