5. Open package of rolls according to directions. Unroll dough and spread out pieces in the baking dish so they touch and form a large rectangle.
6. With your fingers, press dough edges together until the bottom of the baking dish is covered.
7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the dough to edges.
