8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 packages (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess grease and let cool.
On wax paper, unroll one package of crescent rolls and pinch perforations to seal.
Spread half of the cream cheese over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Layer half of the cooked sausage and shredded cheese on top.
Roll the dough tightly into a log using the wax paper, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
