PILLSBURY CRESCENT ROLL APPETIZERS CREAM CHEESE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain.
• Unroll dough on work surface. Press into 12x9-inch rectangle. If using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal. With pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares.
• Place about 1 rounded teaspoon sausage on center of each dough square. Top with about 1 teaspoon cream cheese. Bring 4 corners together to overlap slightly in center at top of each bundle. Twist and pinch to seal, leaving small gaps between seams. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll breadsticks and work with one at a time. Roll it out into a thin strip and then fold it into a pretzel shape. Place pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with pretzel salt.
• Bake 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
• For dip, add butter and flour to a medium pot over medium heat. Whisk together to form a roux as the butter melts. Add garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper and cook roux for 1-2 minutes.
• Whisk lager into the roux slowly until it thickens. It should be a gravy consistency. If it’s very thick, add more beer by the quarter cup.
• Once mixture is together, add grated cheese and whisk until melted.
• Serve beer cheese dip immediately with soft pretzels or chips.
