This Pigs in a Blanket comes together in about 20 minutes and uses just one baking sheet for a quick and easy weeknight meal that your family will love!

Trust me, it’s the perfect clean-out-the-fridge meal that will satisfy everyone’s cravings!

Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s gather our superstar ingredients:

1 package of little smokies or hot dogs: The little smokies are absolutely adorable and packed with flavor, but if you ever find yourself with some leftover hot dogs, feel free to use them too!
1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough: This is the magic ingredient that gives us that flaky, oh-so-delicious shell. Also, it’s just so easy!
Ketchup (for serving): Nothing says nostalgic like dipping your Pigs in a Blanket into some tangy ketchup, right?
Mustard (for serving): A little sharpness to complement the savory goodness of the sausage.
Dipping sauces of choice: Ranch dressing? Barbecue sauce? You choose!

Let’s Get Cooking!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) as per the crescent roll package instructions, this usually takes about 10 minutes. You want your oven nice and hot for that golden crust!
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Just like magic, right? The dough should feel soft and slightly buttery.
Cut each triangle into smaller pieces if desired. If you want bite-sized snacks, slice those triangles in half! Larger pieces are great for hearty snacking, your call!
Place a little smokie or hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. You can also sprinkle a bit of cheese or add jalapeño slices for an extra kick!
Roll them tightly towards the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you go. Each roll should feel snug, like a warm hug.
Arrange the rolled Pigs in a Blanket on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Space them a little apart; they’ll puff up as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they’re beautifully golden brown. And seriously, the smell will have everyone flocking to the kitchen!
Serve warm with ketchup, mustard, or any of your favorite dipping sauces. Enjoy the joyful chaos as everyone dives in!
