Best 3 Little Red Smokies Mini Pigs In A Blanket Recipes

PIGS IN A PRETZEL BLANKET RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring pizza dough to room temperature.
• Cut the dough into strips and stretch/roll out.
• Roll up mini hotdogs in pizza dough so the dough wraps around twice - leaving the ends sticking out and cutting off any excess.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet until ready to boil.
• Bring water to a light boil. Add in Baking Soda.
• Once dissolved, boil wrapped hot dogs in water mixture for 20-30 seconds each (working in small batches).
• Remove and place back on baking tray. Brush each lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sea salt.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 425˚F (220˚C) for 15-20 minutes until the dough is nicely browned.
• Enjoy!

CHEDDAR PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper*** (See Notes), set aside.
• Unroll the cans of crescent roll dough* and slice along the perforated lines of the triangles.
• Then slice each triangle into 3 skinnier triangles. Alternatively, you can just slight them in half if you prefer a bigger roll on your pigs in a blanket, but you'll only be able to make 36 instead of 40.
• Pat the little beef franks or little smokies dry with a paper towel; set aside.
• Slice each cheese slices into 8 pieces (1x2-inches approximately).
• Pace a piece of cheese on the larger end of each of the crescent triangle pieces.
• Place a little beef frank on top of the larger end with the cheese and dough and then roll up, and place on the prepared baking sheet spaced at least 1 inch apart.
• Repeat the process with the other remaining ingredients.
• Optionally sprinkle with flaked salt and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the rolls are as golden brown as desired; rotate baking sheet once midway through to ensure even browning. Start checking at 10 minutes and keep an eye on them in the final minutes of baking because crescent roll dough can cook fast as it's approaching the end of cooking.
• While the pigs in a blanket bake, make the dipping sauce.
• To a small bowl, combine all the ingredients, whisk to combine, taste to check for flavor balance, and make any tweaks if desired.
• Serve the freshly baked pigs in a blanket warm with the dipping sauce.
• Extra dipping sauce will keep airtight for 1 week in the fridge. Pigs in a blanket are best served fresh however they will reheat well in the oven or an air fryer but terribly in the microwave.
