Pigs in a Blanket

(AKA Crowd Pleasers)


This is a great party recipe.  And I use some form of them at nearly every party I have (under various names).  So much so that people almost expect them at this point.  You have to be selective when it comes to where you place them, because they will be the be the center of the party, that is until they run out.  They are fairly easy to make, and what they lack in pomp and complexity they make up for in comfort and sheer naughtiness.  All you're gonna need is...

1 Package Lil' Smokies Sausages
2 Cans Ready to Bake Crescent Rolls

1)  Unroll the crescent roll dough, cut the pre-sliced triangles in to thirds (making 3 smaller triangles)
2)  Roll 1 mini sausage in each piece of dough (I like starting on the edge with the two closest corners, and rolling so the furthest point ends up in the middle of the ends of the sausage)
3)  Place on greased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or till golden brown
4)  Serve with favorite dipping sauce (bbq or stone ground mustard go over best) in area with plenty of elbow room

Those are the basics.  You can dress them up any number of ways from there: cheese is always a deliciously melty addition, an egg wash gives them a nice glisten, and herbs are always a savory touch.  This should make 48, but rarely do I get them out of the kitchen with the whole batch in tact (always taste as you cook...).

Trust me, I call them "Crowd Pleasers" for a reason.  Let me know how it goes...
