Lil Smokies Pigs In A Blanket
Ready in under 30 minutes, these bite-sized cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent rolls make the perfect easy recipe for last-minute gatherings and weeknight treats.
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough (Pillsbury or store brand)
- 24 Lil Smokies cocktail sausages (about 12 oz package; Johnsonville recommended)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (grass-fed if you like a richer taste)
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional, for a bakery feel)
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard or honey mustard (for dipping)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Press seams together to form one sheet, then slice into 24 even triangles (about 2 inches at the base).
- Place a Lil Smokie at the wide end of each triangle, then roll up snugly toward the point. Tuck the ends under slightly to prevent unrolling.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, then bake for 12–15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper after baking. Let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving warm with mustard on the side or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Simple substitutions: use vegan sausages and plant-based crescent dough for a meat-free twist; switch mustard for spicy sriracha mayo.
