Sausage and Gravy Brunch Ring

Steps

• 1

  Heat oven to 400° F and gather your ingredients.

  
• 2

  In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage. Remove from heat, stir in cheese, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 cup Progresso™ soup.
• 3

  Spray a pizza stone lightly with nonstick baking spray. Open, unroll and separate crescents at perforations. Arrange large end of each in a circle around the center of prepared pizza stone.

  
• 4

  Spoon sausage mixture on top of the large, connecting ends of crescent ring.
• 5

  Fold top 1-inch of each crescent triangle down onto itself.

  
• 6

  Then pull small end of triangle over meat mixture, pressing it onto the bottom dough of ring. Repeat until all triangles have been folded over mixture.

  
• 7

  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and cracked pepper, and bake for 17-20 minutes, or until medium golden brown.
• 8

  Return skillet to medium heat. Add remaining Progresso™ soup and garlic powder to any bits left in the skillet. Once warm, transfer to a medium-sized serving bowl.
• 9

  Remove sausage ring from oven. Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes, then gently press edges of ring up to give it a “filled” look, instead of “melty”.
• 10

  Garnish with parsley, if desired, and place bowl of gravy into the center of the sausage ring and serve.
