Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375℉.

Unroll the dough sheet and pull apart at the perforations to divide it into the 8 triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 triangles.

Set a Lil Smokie on the wider end of the triangle, and roll until it meets the thinner end.

Arrange them all on a large baking sheet (or use two smaller ones), then transfer to the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Separate & Stagger Your Dough 🔪
Separate crescent roll triangles and cut each one in half lengthwise to create thinner wraps that cook evenly and won't be doughy, ensuring every bite has the perfect crispy-to-sausage ratio.
Dry Your Smokies First 🧻
Pat the Lil Smokies completely dry with paper towels before wrapping to prevent steam from making the dough soggy and to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
Chill Before Baking ❄️
Assemble your pigs in a blanket on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before baking to prevent the dough from puffing up too much and splitting away from the sausage.
Stagger Your Oven Racks 📍
Use both upper and middle racks, rotating the sheet halfway through baking to ensure even browning and prevent the bottoms from burning while the tops stay pale.
Serve Immediately with Dips 🍯
Bake just before serving and have condiments ready—pigs in a blanket are best enjoyed within 5 minutes of coming out of the oven when the dough is still flaky and the sausage is hot.
