Pigs in a Blanket



Let's jus call it what it is... Pigs in a Blanket... Pillsbury would like to call them Mini Crescent Dogs but I think my name for them sounds more fun. So I forget what was the occasion... but in high school, we were having a get-together to make signs for my friend's graduation from law school. And my friend, Carissa, taught me this neat trick with Pillsbury Crescent rolls and mini hot dogs. In this case, I used Hillshire Farms Lil' Smokies.

It's really good as appetizers and a nice lil snack to bring over. For all you cheese-lovers out there, I took some sliced Sharp cheddar cheese and rolled it in there with the hot dog. Extra yummy!

Here's the basic recipe:

I've made these before and they're great! Super easy and kids can help out A LOT. I haven't tried the cheese and now I'm wondering why I hadn't thought of that before. lol With cresant rolls you could also use pepperoni, cheese and a little sauce to make pizzas too if you tweak this a bit. That'd be good as long as it didn't end up too salty.
