My kids love sausages and pancakes but making them during the week was out of the question. I bought the frozen variety on a stick but wasn't keen on the calories, additives or price. This version of pigs-in-a-blanket is a tasty, thrifty alternative. -Lisa Dodd, Greenville, South Carolina

These pigs in a pool were a disappointment. The sauce was bland, and the crescent roll crust was soggy. I won't be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of pigs in a pool, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did, because they were actually really good. The sauce was tangy and flavorful, and the crescent roll crust was flaky and delicious.

I've tried several different recipes for pigs in a pool, and this one is by far the best. The sauce is so flavorful, and the crescent roll crust is perfect.

These pigs in a pool were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more savory sauce.

I've made these pigs in a pool several times, and they always turn out great. I like to add a little bit of spice to the sauce, and I always serve them with a side of mashed potatoes.

These pigs in a pool were just okay. I followed the recipe exactly, but they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. The flavor was a bit bland.
