Spoon half of the sausage mixture onto the crescent dough, leaving a 1/4 inch space around the edges.
Begin rolling up the dough in a jelly roll style, ensuring that the seam is pinched to seal and placed facing downwards.
Repeat with remaining crescent dough.
Freeze the sausage roll logs for one hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the log into 8 to 10 slices, taking into account the desired thickness, and then place them on baking sheets that have been prepared.
