Directions:

1. Place 1 oven rack slightly below and another slightly above middle of oven. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll both cans of the dough; separate into 16 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.

2. Place sausage on widest end of a dough triangle, and roll up toward opposite point. Place point side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining sausage and dough triangles, dividing between 2 cookie sheets.

3. Place both cookie sheets in oven. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, rotating cookie sheets between oven racks halfway through baking to ensure even browning. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.
