My sister made these for us one Christmas at her house. We were combining a bunch of appetizers and calling it a meal, but this was the one everyone kept coming back to. So tasty! And they were good hot and after they had cooled down, too, which is a lovely characteristic for an appetizer to have.
Anything else you would add to these? The kick from the Ro*tel is awesome, but I wonder what other flavors might be fun to work in?

One Particular Kitchen 
Stop it! I’m trying to be good this morning and now I want to fake being sick and go home and make these. Cream cheese & sausage? SOLD!
I know!! I, sadly, have none in my house right now. I really want to fix that.
We love these but I’ve never tried them with Rotel. I’ll definitely be doing that next time!
I’m betting that was my sister’s personal addition! She loves the stuff as much as I do. 🙂
You asked what else might be good? Maybe some Cajun seasoning? I think they sound pretty good the way it is. Or, maybe some bacon bits? Oh Bev stop……
Ohhhhh I like the way you think, Bev!
OMG….this sounds so easy and fab!
You know I love the easy recipes! 🙂
Every single ingredient in this recipe is in my Top 10 favorite things. Believe it or not, I’ve only come to worship Ro*tel within the past year or so. I think I was scared that it had to much heat, but now, especially when it is mixed with sausage and cream cheese, it makes me swoon.
Oh it is one of my favorite things in the world! And you know there’s a Ro*tel mild if you ever need such a thing!
What size cream cheese and what size crescent rolls 🙂
The regular blocks of cream cheese, which are 8 ounces, and the regular package of crescent rolls that makes 8 rolls. 🙂
