Only a few simple steps and then you\u2019ll have a tasty appetizer your family and friends will love! <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat Oven, Prepare Pan: <\/strong>Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix Cream Cheese Filling: <\/strong>Add the cream cheese, minced jalape\u00f1o, bacon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a large bowl. Beat together using an electric hand mixer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut Crescent Dough:<\/strong> Open the tube of crescent roll dough and spread it out flat on a clean surface. If using crescent rolls instead of crescent sheets, pinch the diagonal seams together. Cut the dough into 12 even strips, and then again in half so you have 24 strips total.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread on Cream Cheese Mixture:<\/strong> Spread the cream cheese mixture over each strip with a knife or a small spatula. I eyeballed this, but it was about a teaspoon on each strip. If you have extra spread, feel free to add more or save any leftovers to use elsewhere\u2013It\u2019s delicious on a toasted bagel!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Sausage and Roll Up: <\/strong>Roll each strip of dough around one cocktail sausage. I had enough dough to wrap fully around them twice, but it will depend on the size of the hot dogs you have. Don\u2019t worry if it\u2019s not all the way around twice. Place them with the open seam down on the prepared baking tray.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg Wash:<\/strong> In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water then brush on the dough with a pastry brush.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"First photo of the cream cheese, bacon, jalapenos, and seasoings in a bowl.
