1 pound bulk pork sausage

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1 (8-ounce.) can sauerkraut, drained, rinsed

1 (8-ounce.) package cream cheese, softened, cut into pieces

1 (8-ounce.) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls

Sliced green onions, if desired

Fresh parsley sprigs, if desired

Heat oven to 350� F.

Heat large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage, onion and garlic; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain. Add sauerkraut and cream cheese; mix until cheese is slightly melted. Unroll dough into 8 triangles.

Arrange triangles on flat stoneware pan with shortest sides toward center, overlapping in wreath shape and leaving 4" circle open in center. (Crescent dough points will overlap edge of pan). Spoon sausage mixture on widest part of dough. Pull end points toward center, over sausage mixture in pinwheel design; tuck under dough to form ring.

Bake at 350� F. for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions and parsley. Serve warm.
