Simple Ingredients and Variations

CRESCENT ROLLS: Refrigerated crescent rolls are pre-made and pre-scored so they easily come apart. Puff pastry can also be used, simply cut into triangles. Brush them with ketchup or mustard before baking or season the dough with garlic powder before assembling them.

HOT DOGS: Any dogs will do! Even polish sausages or bratwurst, as long as a crescent roll fits around them. Par-cooked bacon can be wrapped around hot dogs before rolling in the crescent roll dough.

VARIATION: Make mini crescent dogs using cocktail wieners! Simply cut crescent roll sections in half vertically from the middle of the widest end to the point.

How to Make Crescent Roll Hot Dogs

Make a lengthwise slit in each hot dog and fill with 3 slices of cheese.
Unroll crescent and place a hot dog on the long end.
Roll up crescent dogs and place them seam side down on a prepared baking pan.
Bake (per recipe below) until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve hot.

What To Serve with Crescent Dogs?

Serve crescent dogs with other snacks such as oven-baked potato wedges, or this delicious smashed potatoes recipe. Try them with bacon-wrapped brussels sprouts or some crispy air fryer tater tots. Offer a delicious honey mustard sauce or copycat taco bell quesadilla sauce to dip those tasty hot dog rolls into!

For a hearty meal, serve these ‘pigs-in-a-blanket’ with slow cooker baked beans and a classic macaroni pasta salad. Why not whip up a lime jello salad and some fun desserts like trail mix cookies, and monster magic cookie bars?

Leftovers

Keep leftover crescent roll hot dogs in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or place them under the broiler to crisp them up on the outside.
