How To Make Mini Pigs In A Blanket

These Lil smokies pig in a blanket are so quick to make using refrigerated crescent rolls and little smoke sausages. The hardest part I think about making these is waiting until they bake.

Using refrigerated crescent roll dough, roll out and separate the dough on the perforated seam. This may be best to do on a lightly floured surface so the dough doesn't stick to the countertop.

Crescent roll dough that is rolled out and cut into threes.

Using a butter knife cut the top part of the crescent triangle off. Cutting the remaining dough in half at an angle. Make three mini triangles to wrap around the little smokies.

Taking the little smokies place one on each dough triangle then wrap them in the cut crescent roll. I start at the widest part of the dough and roll to the tip of the triangle. Press the seams together and set the wrapped mini pigs on a cookie sheet.

When you have all the little smokies wrapped up place them into a 375℉ preheated oven for 12-14 minutes. Or until they are golden brown in color.

Crescent roll dough rolled out and cut into thirds with on little smokie rolled up in the dough.

You can always substitute the little smokies for Vienna sausage or hot dogs that have been cut into smaller bites.

Dip these little crescent dogs into your favorite mustard or pizza sauce. These are also good dipped in ranch dressing.

These make great appetizers for any holiday. These mini pigs in a blanket are often on the menu for our Christmas Eve appetizers for dinner night.

To take them up a notch you could add a light coating of melted butter to the rolled mini piggies and then sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top of them.

How can I make mini pigs in a blanket even better?

Adding a small slice of American cheese would bring added flavor to these mini pigs in a blanket. You could also add a bit of the pizza sauce onto the crescent roll along with the little smokies.

How to keep mini pigs in a blanket warm?

Keeping appetizers like these mini crescent dogs warm is important at parties. There are a few ways to do it. One would be to have a crockpot set to warm and place the appetizer in it. Another would be a warming drawer of the oven. Or the oven itself on a low temperature like 200℉. If using the oven I would keep a close eye on them so they don't dry out.

Can pigs in the blanket be frozen?

Yes, they can be. They can be made up in advance and placed on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer. Once the pigs in a blanket are frozen they can be placed in a freezer bag and will keep for up to two months.

How to cook frozen pigs in a blanket?

Place the frozen mini pigs in a blanket on a cookie sheet and place them into the oven. Bake at 375℉ for about 25 minutes. Or until the crescent dough is golden brown.
