How to Make Pigs in a Blanket
Crescent roll pigs in a blanket could not be easier to make! Just 2 ingredients and everyone absolutely loves these.

- Unroll each slice and wrap around mini smokies.
- Place seam side down on a baking sheet.

I love to use the mini cocktail smokies that have cheese in them if you can find them. If not, I sometimes add a tiny bit of grated or processed cheese inside when I’m wrapping the dough around the smokies! If you’d like, brush them with a bit of butter and some sesame seeds or everything seasoning before baking!
Dip these easy Pigs in a Blanket in mustard, ketchup, bbq sauce or chili sauce.
