It\u2019s one of those nostalgic appetizers that I grew up eating and have continued to adore well into adulthood. What\u2019s not to love? Salty all-beef hot dogs are wrapped up in soft crescent roll dough, stuffed with cheese, baked and then brushed with a totally addictive garlic butter. <em>So <\/em>good.<\/p>\n<p>We love to eat these Pigs in a Blanket as appetizer, but we love them equally as much served for dinner with a big salad and some grilled veggies. Happy kiddos, happy adults. There are a million different ways you can make pigs in a blanket, but my favorite is what I grew up with, good old packaged crescent roll dough, American cheese and hot dogs. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-in-pigs-in-a-blanket\">Ingredients in Pigs in a Blanket<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of my favorite dishes to make for my kids because the ingredients are so simple. Plus, you can add extra fillings, cheeses, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce to add more flavor! They\u2019re so easy to customize.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Crescent Roll Dough<\/strong>: I grew up using crescent dough for pigs in a blanket, so that\u2019s still what I use today. If you want to get a little fancier, you can also make pigs in a blanket with puff pastry. You still have the same effect, but the puff pastry is a little bit more flaky and crispy, whereas the crescent roll dough is soft and sweet. It\u2019s just a personal preference!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hot Dogs:<\/strong> I use all-beef hot dogs, but use whatever you want! This would work with turkey dogs or even chicken hot dogs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheese<\/strong>: I like to use American cheese here. It melts wonderfully and gives that all-American Pigs in a Blanket taste, but cheddar cheese would also work nicely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon Mustard:<\/strong> This is totally optional. I usually do half with Dijon, half without since my kids don\u2019t tend to like it. All I do is spread a little bit of mustard on each strip of dough, then roll the hot dog up as I normally would.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>: You\u2019ll need salted, melted butter. If you don\u2019t have salted butter, that\u2019s fine, just season the butter with salt to taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spices<\/strong>: You\u2019ll need garlic powder and onion powder. This gets added to the melted butter mixture and brushed on top of each roll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maldon Salt:<\/strong> This is also optional, but I love topping these pigs in a blanket with big flakes of salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-pigs-in-a-blanket\">How to Make Pigs in a Blanket<\/h2>\n<p>These pigs in a blanket are about as easy as it gets to make. Only a few simple steps and then you\u2019ll have a delicious meaty, buttery snack that the whole family will love!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat Oven, Prepare Pan: <\/strong>Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a medium\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Lvqh7L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">baking sheet<\/a>\u00a0with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape the Dough: <\/strong>Take the crescent roll dough out of the can. Keep the dough in tact. Gently pull the dough into four rectangles. (They should already be in rectangles as each rectangle has two triangles that are meant to be pulled apart if you were making classic crescent rolls.) Use your fingers to pinch the middle of the triangles together so the rectangle stays in tact when you cut it and roll the pigs in a blanket. Use a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2STpK3u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">pizza cutter<\/a>\u00a0to cut each rectangle into three long strips. They should be about 3\/4-inch by 4-inches. You should have twelve strips.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut the Hot Dogs: <\/strong>Cut the hot dogs into thirds. You should have twelve pieces of hot dog.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut Cheese Slices: <\/strong>Cut each slice of cheese in half and then into thirds. You should have six small pieces of cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Fillings: <\/strong>If using,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2yOMivp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">brush<\/a>\u00a0the strips of dough with a little bit of Dijon mustard. Place a piece of cheese on the bottom of the strip of dough. Then place a mini hot dog on top. Roll up and place on prepared baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake: <\/strong>Bake for 12 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter Mixture: <\/strong>While the pigs in a blanket bake, melt butter in a small\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YU5ZwC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">saucepan<\/a>. Stir in garlic powder and onion powder. When the pigs in a blanket comet of the oven, brush with the butter. Sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Serve with preferred dipping sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"4-photo collage of hot dogs being wrapped in crescent roll dough, then brushed with butter.\" class=\"wp-image-239104\" title=\"Gotta love a classic Pigs in a Blanket appetizer!
