In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage (1 pound), over medium heat, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes; drain and discard grease.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each can of the dough, and pinch together the seems.
Spread half of the cream cheese on each rectangle of dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
Arrange half of the cooked and cooled sausage over the cream cheese on each rectangle of dough.
Beginning at the long edge and roll up the dough into a log, like you would a cinnamon roll. Wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate the logs for one hour.
Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Remove logs from fridge, and cut into 1/2 thick slices.
Cut the roll into 12 individual pieces, using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion. Arrange the cut rolls evenly, in 3 rows, 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden.
