Herbed Sausage Cream Cheese Casserole with Spinach
Servings: 6

Ingredients
1 pound pork sausage
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 (8 oz) cans crescent roll dough
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and combined with the sausage.
Add the chopped spinach, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the spinach is wilted and everything is well combined.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to seal.
Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough in the baking dish.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the sausage mixture, again pressing the seams together to seal.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and flaky.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares and serving warm.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, try using hot Italian sausage or adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. If you’re looking to add more veggies, consider mixing in some sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers. For a different flavor profile, you could substitute the pork sausage with turkey sausage or even a plant-based sausage for a vegetarian option. If you’re short on time, you can prepare the sausage mixture the night before and store it in the fridge, then assemble and bake the casserole the next day.
