How to Make Beef Sausage Roll Ups

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. For smaller appetizers, cut each triangle lengthwise into narrower strips.
3. Wrap one piece of dough around each mini beef sausage, gently stretching the dough if necessary.
4. Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush the tops with melted butter.
6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed and golden brown and the sausages are heated through.
7. Let the roll ups rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Easy Variations

Cheesy Beef Sausage Roll Ups: Add a small strip of cheddar or pepper jack cheese before wrapping each sausage.

Everything Bagel Roll Ups: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the buttered dough before baking.

Spicy Version: Add a small amount of crushed red pepper flakes or your favorite spicy seasoning.

Make-Ahead Tip

Prepare and wrap the beef sausage roll ups several hours before serving. Cover and refrigerate the assembled appetizers until you’re ready to bake. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they’re going directly from the refrigerator to the oven.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these golden beef sausage bites warm with mustard, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or another favorite dipping sauce. They also pair nicely with vegetable trays, cheese boards, pickles, chili, and other party snacks.

Helpful Tips

• Place the roll ups seam-side down so they stay together while baking.
• Avoid wrapping the dough too thickly because the center may take longer to bake.
• Watch them closely during the final few minutes since crescent dough can brown quickly.
• Allow the appetizers to cool briefly before serving.
