Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked sausage, drained Rotel tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

      Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.

        Take a tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture and place it at the wide end of each triangle.

          Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end to the tip, making sure to enclose the filling. Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet.
