Pigs in a Blanket at the Bear’s Den

Pigs in a Blanket at the Bear’s Den. (A First)​

Believe it or not, this is something We never did before at the Bear’s Den.
I often thought about it, but never did it before, but I saw a couple of nice pics of some, and had to do some!!

I had My Mrs Bear help again, because the prepping was just too much time away from my Recliner.

Need These Things:
1 Can (8 ounce) of Refrigerated Crescent Rolls.
24 Smokey Links.

Process:
So The first thing we did was unroll an 8 ounce can of crescent rolls. I cut 3 pieces out of each triangle (See Pic).
Then roll a Smokey Link Sausage in each strip of Dough, from the widest end, finishing with the point.
Then I spread them all out on a Crisper Basket, and filled the other Basket with Frozen Steak Fries.
Into the #360 they went, set @ 350° for about 6 minutes, or until the dough is lightly Browned. (Fan turned On)

So the first night I had some Pigs and some Steak Fries, with some Hot Mustard for dipping my Dogs & Ketchup for my Fries.

I had another helping, and then the following Morning I had the last 6 Pigs with a couple Eggs.


I gotta do this again—This was Great !!!


Thanks for stopping in,

Bear

I've done the same with the Johnsonville sausages. Used a whole cresent roll per sausage. Makes a great meal.

3 things I've tried and never want again. Pig in the blankets-Pepsi Cola, & a redheaded woman! OOPS--didn't realize they were smokey links..I take back what I said (except for the Pepsi and the redhead).

We used to make these when the kiddos were young and we needed a quick dinner after some sporting event. One difference, we used full sized dogs, split down the middle and stuffed with some cheese. Those look great and bring back some fond memories John.

Point for sure

I love pigs in a blanket, my Grandmother would make them for Saturday breakfast when the grand kids slept over, and sometimes they were made with pancakes. Now that I'm grown-up .... I like to make a side of pig candy to go along with pigs in a blanket. I season the bacon with brown sugar, black pepper and cayenne.

Pigs in a Blanket Fun Facts: The term “pigs in a blanket” often refers to hot dogs, Vienna sausages, cocktail or breakfast/link sausages wrapped in biscuit dough, pancake, or croissant dough, and baked.

• The first written record of pigs in a blanket occurs in Betty Crocker’s Cooking for Kids in 1957.
• April 24th is National Pigs in a Blanket Day.
• Pigs in a blanket are also known as devils on horseback, kilted sausages, and wiener winks.
• They are typically small in size and can be eaten in one or two bites. For this reason, they are usually served as an appetizer or hors d’oeuvre or are accompanied by other dishes in the ‘main course’ section of a meal.
• In the United Kingdom, pigs in blankets are small sausages, or chipolatas wrapped up in bacon.

Lookin' real good there Bear, hard to go wrong with little piggies, Like! I bet some hot links rolled up like that with some honey mustard to smooth things out would work pretty well too. About a balanced diet John, where's the veggies? RAY

Thank You Jim!!
I'm thinking on this one!!!
Except we no longer have Johnsonville---We have Hillshire Farms. I like them better anyway. They're only slightly different. Hillshire doesn't have as much Grease running out.
