For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of hot sauce to the sausage mixture. Feel free to substitute the vegetables with your favorites, such as diced mushrooms or chopped spinach. These sausage cups can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. To ensure even baking, rotate the muffin tins halfway through the baking time.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a frying pan over medium-high heat, add sausage. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease and let cool slightly. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine softened regular cream cheese and softened vegetable cream cheese. Add Cheddar cheese, finely chopped red bell pepper, finely chopped green onion, and the cooled, crumbled sausage. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
04
StepUnroll 1 crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface and gently press it into a 9x12-inch rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut 6 rows across and 4 rows vertically to yield 24 squares. Repeat with the second package of dough. (10 minutes)
05
StepPlace 1 square in each cup of two nonstick 24-cup mini muffin tins. Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of each cup, forming a small well. (10 minutes)
06
StepDrop 1 heaping teaspoon of the sausage filling into each dough-lined cup. The filling should reach the top of the cup, but do not press it down. (10 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the crescent dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 11 to 13 minutes. (12 minutes)
08
StepRemove the mini muffin tins from the oven and let the sausage cups cool for 5 minutes in the tins before carefully transferring them to a serving platter. (5 minutes)
