CRESCENT CHEESY SAUSAGE CALZONE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350'F. Unroll dough onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets, gently stretching dough on each side.
• 2. In a skillet brown sausage until no longer pink and in crumbles. Add in garlic and mix around for about a 2 minutes.
• 3. Turn off heat and add to sausage, romano cheese, then mix around, then add 1 cup shredded mozzarella/pizza cheese blend and mix around. Add in cream cheese in about 1 ounce pats so that it will be easier to mix and coat the sausage.
• 4. Split sausage and cheese mixture in half and place in middle of crescent dough leaving 1 inch untouched at ends, sprinkle on top of sausage mixture 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella/pizza cheese blend
• 5. Take one side of dough and stretch over meat mixture and do the same with other side of dough carefully not to rip dough. Fold open edges up and flip calzone over so that the double layer of dough is on bottom. (This will guarantee the dough to fully cook.) Scoot over calzone to lay 2nd. sheet of crescent dough and do the same steps. (This will allow you to bake both on the same sheet at the same time.)
• 6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let calzones set for about 10 minutes. Then cut with a sharp knife into strips and serve! You can serve with marinara sauce but these are so good by themselves and make a great party snack!
• 7. Note: If you want to make 1 cream cheese calzone, add half of the sausage blend to first calzone before adding cream cheese, then mix in 4 ounces of cream cheese to sausage mixture in pan and mix then add to second sheet of crescent dough. (Still top both with shredded cheese before wrapping dough)
