Pigs In A Blanket For Big Kidsalso Called Hogs In A Sleeping Recipes

PIGS IN A BLANKET FOR BIG KIDS....ALSO CALLED HOGS IN A SLEEPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Open the crescent rolls and separate them down the lines into the triangles.
• Cut the sausages in half so you have 8 pieces.
• Start with the tall side of the triangle. Roll the sausage in the crescent dough, tucking the bottom point up when you start to roll. You should finish with the point. My Dad said they looked like they were wrapped up in a sleeping bag -- hence the name he gave them "Hogs in a Sleeping Bag" since it was the big smoked sausage.
• Bake them on a cookie sheet at 375 for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescnet rolls are golden.
• You can serve them with spicy mustard, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

GIANT PIG-IN-A-BLANKET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Remove the plastic packaging from the sausage while keeping it together in its original shape. On a work surface, gently roll the sausage log back and forth into a 10-inch log. Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and bake until browned and cooked to 155 degrees F, about 25 minutes; transfer the sausage to paper towels to drain. Discard the parchment and reline the baking sheet with a new piece.
• Arrange the ham slices side by side and overlapping by 1 inch on a cutting board to form a 9-inch-long rectangle. Place the sausage log parallel to one long end of the rectangle and roll the sausage up in the ham. Place the crescent dough sheet on a cutting board and pinch the perforated seams closed so the dough is solid. Arrange the ham-wrapped sausage parallel with one short end of the dough sheet and roll it so that the dough wraps around the sausage completely.
• Transfer the pastry-wrapped sausage to the prepared baking sheet seam-side down, brush with the egg mixture and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Serve with honey mustard for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°. Working quickly while cold, unroll the crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface and separate the perforated dough into 8 triangles. Cut each dough triangle into three equal skinny triangles.
• Place one cocktail sausage on the wide base of one skinny triangle. Roll the sausage toward the pointed end of the triangle, allowing the dough to overlap and wrap around the sausage. Place the rolled sausage on a parchment-lined baking sheet, point-side down. Repeat with the remaining dough triangles and sausages.
• Whisk together the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Brush the egg wash over the dough and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning, if desired. Bake at 375° until the dough is puffed and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Make the dipping sauces (optional): For the Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce, stir together the mayo and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl until smooth. For the Maple-Dijon Dijon Dipping Sauce, stir together the mustard and syrup in a small bowl until smooth. For the Quick Ranch, stir together the sour cream, pickle juice, and chives in a small bowl until smooth.
• Serve the pigs in a blanket warm with Spicy Mayo, Maple Dijon, or Quick Ranch Dipping Sauces.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the sauerkraut and relish in a small bowl; set aside.
• Unroll the crescent dough and pinch the seams together with your fingers. Cut the dough in half lengthwise, then slice each half crosswise into 12 strips. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the sauerkraut-relish mixture on each strip of dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one short end. Sprinkle with the cheese. Place 1 frank on each strip of dough and roll the dough around the frank, pressing lightly to seal.
• Transfer to the baking sheet seam-side down; brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake until the dough is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve with Thousand Island dressing and/or mustard.
