Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz.) package Hillshire Farm Lit’l Smokies or other mini hot dogs
  • 2 tubes crescent rolls
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise through the point into two smaller, long triangles.
  2. Wrap the Smokies: Place a Lit’l Smokie toward the wide end of each crescent dough piece. Starting at the wide end, roll the Smokie up in the crescent dough, ending at the dough’s tip, ensuring the mini hot dog peeks out slightly on both ends.
  3. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place all wrapped pigs in a blanket in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
  4. Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then promptly remove from heat when bubbling.
  5. Coat the Rolls: Brush the tops of the pigs in a blanket generously with the glaze, then pour the remaining glaze evenly over all the rolls in the dish.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls uncovered in a preheated 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffed.
  7. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. These will yield about 35 to 40 pigs in a blanket per package of Lit’l Smokies, perfect for sharing at parties.

Notes

  • You can use any brand of mini hot dogs or cocktail sausages if Lit’l Smokies are unavailable.
  • Cutting the crescent triangles into thinner strips helps to create more, smaller pigs in a blanket, ideal for parties.
  • The glaze adds a sweet and tangy depth of flavor that complements the savory smokies—do not skip brushing and pouring it over the dough.
  • For a crispier texture, you can bake a few extra minutes but be careful not to burn the glaze.
  • These freeze well before baking; wrap tightly and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
