Super Bowl Sunday came and went...and I'm stuffed! Since I've been cooking so many football party appetizers lately, I wanted more of a meal instead of just a bunch of appetizers...So we had a enchilada casserole, for which I'll be sharing the recipe soon. Then we had chips and dips, and I had to make a few small bites...and I figured why not a classic! Pigs in a blanket!!! I think it's been like ten years since I last had pigs in a blanket.

I really took the easy route and made mine with canned crescent rolls...and even though I had the most jacked up can of crescent rolls mine turned out fine...seriously one can had a major problem, seams were everywhere, you couldn't tell where one roll ended and the other one began...Pillsbury if your reading this I want a refund!
Basically all you do is cut each crescent roll into three pieces and wrap up a cocktail sausage and bake.
Mini Pigs In A Blanket
adapted from Pillsbury
2- 8 oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls
48 cocktail sausages (from two 14 oz packages)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Unroll both cans of crescent rolls and separate into 16 triangles. Cut each crescent roll into 3 narrow triangles. Place sausage on the shortest side of each triangle. Roll up each cocktail sausage. Place on two ungreased baking sheets and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through baking. Serve warm.
I thought I was going to see actual little pigs in blankies. But this will do.
ReplyDeleteOh dear...I thought I was the only one who got those jacked up cans of dough! You'd never know your can was messed up though. These look great!
ReplyDeleteI found a recipe the other day where you brown breakfast links real quick and then wrap them in the croissant dough and bake. Then you dip them in maple syrup. We've been loving that one!
LOL, guess you read my comment on your other post?? my kids loved these when they were little.
ReplyDeleteyummy..
ReplyDeleteOne of the first things my children learned to "bake." Such memories!
ReplyDeleteThese are the best...reminds me of my childhood. This is the only way I would eat anything that reminded me of a hot dog. :) Now I have all sorts of good mustards to dip them in!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...dough and hotdogs, doesn't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteI make these too. My favorites! I also put a little egg wash on the dough before I pop them in the oven.
ReplyDeleteWe had these yesterday for Super Bowl also, and yes it had been awhile since I'd had them. Man are those things good. Dipped in some of my home made mustard and we were in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had Pigs in a Blanket since I was a kid. I like that you swapped the hot dog out for cocktail sausages. Have you ever added cheese to this recipe?
ReplyDeleteMy son loves these things, he wants to buy the lil' smokies every time that we are shopping.
