Print Recipe Pin Recipe

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)

Instructions
 

  • Open your crescent dinner rolls can and unroll the dough. Ignoring the perforated marks, make small rectangles out of the dough.
  • Roll each hot dog, and place on a cooking sheet. Don't forget to spray your cooking sheet so the rolls won't stick.
  • Follow the directions on the crescent rolls for cooking. Typically, the rolls with the mini hot dogs take the same time to cook.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar a few spoonfuls at a time, allowing the cheese to melt into your rue.
  • Once all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the chili powder for a little kick. Think, nacho cheese.
  • Serve warm with your mini crescent hot dogs!
