Lill smokies pigs in a blanket is a classic party appetizer that the whole family will love! Lil' smokies are wrapped in a slightly sweet crescent dough, brushed with butter, and baked until golden brown! An easy 30 minute recipe!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cans refrigerated crescent rolls

    8 count each

  • 14 oz. package of cocktail sausages
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt

    such as Madon’s, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Remove crescent rolls from packaging and gently unroll, taking care to keep the perforated sheet intact. Press over the seams gently to form a single sheet of crescent roll dough.

  3. 3

    Use a pizza wheel to slice the crescent sheet into four sections and then slice each section into 7 triangles. (The triangles don’t have to be perfect or sized exactly the same - approximate triangles are just fine.)

  4. 4

    Place one cocktail sausage aligned with the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the sausage to form a small crescent roll surrounding the sausage. Place prepared “pigs in a blanket” on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Brush the tops of each roll with melted butter and top with a sprinkle of flaked/coarse salt, if desired.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, and any of your favorite dipping sauces.
