My husband came home from the deer camp last week bragging about this casserole that another hunter’s wife had sent, insisting that I try it. So he got the recipe for me, and he was right – it is amazing!

With only four ingredients, it is super easy to make. The kids loved it, and it even made enough to have two nights in a row.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 2 lbs ground sausage (1 lb spicy plus 1 lb regular)
• 12 oz cream cheese (1 1/2 blocks)
• green onions, chopped (I used about 3 bunches)
• 2 pkgs crescent dough sheets (If you can’t find the sheets, just use crescent rolls and pinch the seams together)

Start by browning your sausage in a large skillet until it is fully cooked. Combining the spicy and regular sausage gives this meal the perfect flavor for both kids and adults. While the sausage is cooking, preheat your oven to 365 degrees and spray a 13×9 casserole dish with cooking spray.

After the sausage is completely cooked, stir in the cream cheese until it melts (I used the 1/3-less-fat kind and it still tasted great), then stir in the green onions. Spread out the first package of crescent dough in the bottom of your greased casserole dish. Spread the sausage mixture on top of the dough, then place the second sheet of dough on top to cover completely. Bake at 365 for 20-30 minutes, until the crescent dough begins to brown.

(I actually baked the bottom crescent layer by itself for about 8 minutes before adding the sausage mixture and it came out perfect. I was worried the bottom layer would come out soggy if I didn’t.)

I suggested to my husband adding shredded cheddar or pepper-jack cheese to the sausage mixture, or even some other vegetables, because it just sounded so plain. He told me to trust him about how good it was with just these few ingredients, and I’m glad I did – it was amazing!

We had this for supper, but it would also be perfect for breakfast or brunch. I hope y’all enjoy this as much as we did! And thank you to whoever gave my husband this recipe!

Thanks y’all!
