Today I’m sharing a Pigs In A Blanket Recipe. We call these little beauties comfort food. And with all that is going on in the world, who doesn’t need some comfort food from time to time?
For This Pigs In A Blanket Recipe You’ll Need These Ingredients:
- Beef Cocktail Smokies (Litte smokies)
- Crescent Rolls
I usually buy two cans of crescent rolls just in case I end up needing more but for this tutorial and an entire package of little smokies, one was enough. So if you miss reading this note until after you have gotten back from the grocery store, just make some crescent rolls to go with your supper 🙂
How To Make Pigs In A Blanket Step by Step
- Open your package of little smokies and put them all on a paper towel lined plate.
- This will help dry them a bit and our dough will stick much better.
(This photo only shows about half of my package)
- Take out your crescent rolls and roll them out one triangle at a time.
- Cut that triangle into about five pieces, like this.
- Now take each piece and wrap it around a little smoke, pressing the edges together to seal.
- Place them all on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving them a little room to spread, and bake at 375 for about 10-12 minutes.
Get ’em while they’re hot..

Since I specialize in kid recipes and low cost food items with Angel Food, my granddaughters and I came up with what we call “whatever pigs”. If it comes in commodities, Angel Food, or on sale at store, we use it. Many times it is biscuits cut in half wrapped around a fourth of a hot dog. They love honey mustard or even ranch to dip these in. Absolutely agree both with meal time and bed time. It is amazing what you learn from their requests to God in their bedtime prayers and mealtime graces. As a grandmother, a trip to Sonic can provide great insight into their lives and fears as well.
It is amazing what can be learned, and it takes hearing, not just listening sometimes. I love that you call them “whatever pigs”!!!
The Hearts of our Children are often full of big burdens. I know my oldest heart breaks when he thinks about children at school How they sometime ignore him and treat him as if he wasn’t there. They may not realize the hurt they embed but I do and it is oh so real. To comfort and make your child, who believes you can move mountains, understand is difficult, but can be done. They believe everything you say is true and you just have to say it in a way that it All Comes True. <3 and Hugs to All the Children with heavy hearts and Parents that make them light again.
These are the best! Also great with the smokies that have the cheese inside. We never have leftovers with these at my house!
Never, ever, EVER pass up a chance to sit down to dinnner with your family. You won’t have it after they’re gone.
These are great! For several years my family has made these to enjoy on Christmas morning. We make them a day or two ahead of time, either freeze or keep in the fridge, and just heat them in the microwave when we’re ready to eat them. We’ll warm up a plate and take them next to the Christmas tree to enjoy while we’re opening presents. Oh, and we’ve just sort of evolved into calling them “Little Sausagies”.
I make these every Christmas Eve, but every time I do they come out soft and squishy on the bottom. I dry them off and everything. What am I doing wrong?
This is a little more complicated, but I cut my hot dogs in sections, roll them in flour and then dip in House Autry hushpuppie mix, drop in hot oil and cook till brown. They are crunchy and wonderful with mustard or ketchup…also stay crispy. You can cook several at a time, so it only takes a little while to do a whole plate. I put the plate in a warm oven while I am cooking them, then just keep warm until you serve them….gone in a few minutes. Have to cook them every time the grans come. First request at Christmas…even passed up pizza for these. PS Add a little water to hp mix if it gets too thick.
Christy, thank you so much for the reminder that we need to listen to our children (and grandchildren). Sometimes we get so busy living life we forget how huge and important those “little” issues were to us when we were growing up and we forget to validate the importance of those issues to our kids.
And thanks for the recipe – I used to make these for my kids when we were in high cotton and had money to splurge on “fancy food” … they loved ’em, I loved ’em, and they understood when Mom made these things were going good. 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend!
Such a simple and yummy recipe, I made it for my son’s 5th birthday party (Angry Birds theme, hehe) and just now for dinner for my nephews having a sleepover with my sons. It’s my new go-to favorite. Thank for sharing it and for encouraging family dinners!
I am so glad to hear that it has become a hit at your house Tabitha!!
I make some every Christmas and add them to my goodie trays to neighbors, coworkers and such. Mine are a little different though-I use plain ole canned biscuits rolled flat a little, cut in half, and rolled around cocktail weiners. I bake them on parchment paper on a pan.
