Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray. Unroll dough and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange 8 triangles with shortest sides toward center slightly overlapping in a sun shape and leaving a 4-inch round circle open in center. You can place a soup bowl in the center and work around that to make it easier.2. Place cooked and crumbled sausage on top of crescent roll ring, then top with cheese.3. Pull points of triangles over the sausage & cheese and tuck dough under to form rings. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed. 4. Brush with egg wash, if desired, and bake at 375˚F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. SUBSTITUTION IDEASYou could also use ground venison for this recipe. But you'll need to add some seasonings like salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Sometimes I even like to add onion, bell pepper, and cream cheese.
