Patriotic Pigs in a Blanket
Ingredients
- 2 cans Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (8 count each)
- 2 packages Lit'l Smokies (14 oz each)
- 4-6 slices American cheese, each slice divided into 3-4 squares
- 4 Tbsp BBQ sauce (my favorite: Sweet Baby Ray's)
- American flag toothpicks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉.
- Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate along the perforations, resulting in 16 triangles. Using a sharp knife, cut each triangle of dough into 3 smaller triangles.
- For the next step, I typically do the following: I will leave 1 out of every 3 triangles plain (with only the sausage wrapped in crescent dough). Then, using a teaspoon, I smear the 2nd of the 3 triangles with BBQ sauce. On the last of the 3, I place a square of American cheese at the base of the triangle. However, you can adjust this ratio to suit your personal preferences.
- Place a Lit'l Smokie at the base of each triangle of crescent dough. Roll the dough up towards the point of the triangle, wrapping the sausage in the dough. Place point side-down on 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 375℉ for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove immediately from cookie sheets and place on a serving tray.
- If desired, you may stick an American flag toothpick into every or every other Pig in a Blanket before serving.
