Mini Crescent Hot Dogs with Cheese Dip

Easy semi homemade pigs in a blanket recipe made with crescent rolls and lil smokies with cheddar cheese dip
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8oz can crescent dinner rolls

  • 1 14 oz bag cocktail-size smoked link sausages or hot dogs 
  • 1/2 cup flour
For the Cheddar Cheese Dip
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 tsp chilli powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Open your crescent dinner rolls can and unroll the dough. Ignoring the perforated marks, make small rectangles out of the dough.
  2. Roll each hot dog, and place on a cooking sheet. Don't forget to spray your cooking sheet so the rolls won't stick.
  3. Follow the directions on the crescent rolls for cooking. Typically, the rolls with the mini hot dogs take the same time to cook.
  4. To prepare the cheddar cheese dipping sauce, start by adding butter and flour to a small saucepan. Heat and whisk the butter and flour together until they become bubbly.
  5. Add milk into the flour and butter mixture. Turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to come to a simmer while whisking. Allow the mixture to come together and turn off heat once it thickens.
  6. Stir in the shredded cheddar a few spoonfuls at a time, allowing the cheese to melt into your rue.
  7. Once all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the chili powder for a little kick. Think, nacho cheese.
  8. Serve warm with your mini crescent hot dogs!
