Great Recipe. I made this to take to a work function. It was so easy to prepare the night before and then pop in the oven the next morning. It was a hit. Taste a lot like biscuits and gravy!!

We really liked these. Were easy to prepare ahead and just slice and bake in the AM. I think we would like less filling, but that is a personal preference. Will make again definitely. My first attempt at photographing my food sooo. Made and reviewed for spring PAC 2009

I make these same things but I use one triangle of cresent dough in each regular sized muffin cup. After draining the sausage I add the cream cheese to the sausage and stir until thorougly mixed. Then I spoon the filling into the cups and bake according the the crescent directions. It's amazing how much this tastes just like biscuits and gravy!
