Here is a meal for those nights when you are short on time. These pigs in a blanket are super easy to make and only take 10 minutes to bake. My little ones love helping make this dish. They are in charge of rolling the dough over the sausages… and occasionally sneaking bites of the cheese and sausages when they think I am not looking.
Here is what you need to make Pigs in a Blanket:
-1 package of Pillsbury or other brand crescent roll dough
-1 package of Lil’ Smokies Turkey Sausages or other brand
– 4 slices of American cheese
Here is how you make the Pigs in a Blanket:
-Preheat oven to 350. Cover the bottom of a cookie sheet with foil (makes for easier clean-up).
-Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the precut 8 triangles. Then cut each triangle into 4 smaller triangles. You should have 32 smaller triangles in the end.
-Cut each slice of cheese into 8 smaller pieces. You should have 32 pieces when you are done.
-Take one small triangle of dough and place a piece of cheese in the middle of it. Then place a sausage on top of that.
-Now roll it all up.
-Place the rolled sausages on the foil covered cookie sheet.
-Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
-Remove from oven. Let cool for a couple minutes then enjoy!
Yields 32 sausages. I usually serve this with a nice green salad and some fruit.
