Ingredients Needed

Kielbasa – aka Polish Sausage or the similar smoked sausage.
Crescent Roll – a tube of refrigerated dough, store brand or Pillsbury is fine.
Minced Garlic and Garlic Powder – we like to add this flavor inside of the roll and on top.
Butter – use the real stuff for the best flavor, skip the margarine.
Parmesan Cheese – grated blends in the easiest.
Parsley – dried herbs, can substitute Italian seasoning.

Ingredients to make Smoked Sausage crescent rolls are a tube of refrigerated crescent rolls, butter, Parmesan cheese, smoked sausage, minced garlic, garlic powder and parsley on a wooden counter top.

Step By Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix together Parmesan cheese and granulated garlic. Spread over unrolled triangles of crescent dough.

Cut Kielbasa into chunks as wide as the end of the triangle that you start rolling on. Lay the meat across the dough and roll up.

Spoon spreading garlic mixture over crescent roll triangles with chunks of Kielbasa ready to be rolled up.

Roll up sausage with the ends exposed and not covered up with dough. This will keep the slices more uniform for serving.

Melt butter and stir in garlic powder and parsley or another green herb. Spoon, brush or pour over the top of the rolls.

Melted butter seasoned with garlic and herbs poured over smoked sausage Kielbasa wrapped in rolls on a baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Slice each roll into 4 bite sized pieces and serve warm. These always disappear quickly because they taste so amazing!

Recipe Tips

Keep the dough very cold as it is much easier to handle, warm dough is tricky to work with.
We prefer serving in thinner slices that are easy to put on a toothpick and enjoy in one bite compared to chunks that require a fork to eat properly.
This recipe is easy to customize with your favorite seasonings – using everything bagel seasoning is another popular option.
