Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and golden-brown crescent rolls. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sausage and cook until fully browned, breaking it into small, crumbled pieces. Lower the heat to low and stir in 8 ounces of cream cheese until fully melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper if desired.

Unroll the first package of crescent roll dough and lay it flat on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough. Unroll the second package of crescent roll dough and place it over the filling. Gently press the edges and the top to seal.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized squares or rectangles. Serve warm.
