Description
Campfire Pigs in a Blanket features juicy hot dogs wrapped in flaky, golden crescent dough and cooked until crisp over open flames. They are perfect for camping trips, backyard cookouts, or fun family snacks, served with mustard and ketchup for dipping.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces crescent roll dough, such as Pillsbury Grands Crescent Rolls (about 8 triangles)
- 8 hot dogs, regular or turkey
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard, for dipping
- 1/4 cup ketchup, for serving
Instructions
- Separate the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean, lightly floured surface and separate it into 8 triangles, pressing any perforations closed.
- Wrap the Hot Dogs: Pat each hot dog dry, place it on the wide end of a triangle, and roll it tightly toward the point.
- Seal the Edges: Press the seams and tip firmly so the dough stays closed while it cooks.
- Prepare the Fire: Let your campfire burn down to glowing coals, then hold the roasting sticks 4 to 6 inches above medium heat.
- Campfire Method: Thread each wrapped hot dog onto a clean roasting stick and cook over medium coals for 8-10 minutes, turning every 1-2 minutes until deep golden brown.
- Oven Method: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Check for Doneness: The dough should be deep golden brown and the hot dog heated through to 165°F internally.
- Rest Briefly: Let them cool for 2 minutes so the filling doesn't burn your tongue.
- Set Up the Dips: Spoon mustard and ketchup into small bowls so everyone can dip.
- Serve Warm: Arrange the pigs in a blanket on a platter and serve immediately while the dough is flaky.
