Pigs in a Blanket make great little appetizers for kids and adults alike! This easy recipe needs just 2 ingredients!
You can pretty much always find these on our appetizer table alongside Baked Wings, Grape Jelly Meatballs, and of course our favorite Spinach Artichoke Dip!
The Perfect Appetizer
Juicy little smokies are wrapped in dough and baked until golden.
- With just 2 ingredients, they’re super easy to prepare.
- These can be prepared and refrigerated up to 24 hours ahead for easy entertaining.
- Add a bit of American cheese inside each if you’d like.
- No mini smokies? Cut hot dogs into 1.5″ pieces (or even make larger pigs in blankets with whole dogs, the cook time should remain close to the same).
How to Make Pigs in a Blanket
Crescent roll pigs in a blanket could not be easier to make! Just 2 ingredients and everyone absolutely loves these.
- Open crescent rolls and slice the roll into 1″ slices before unrolling.
- Unroll each slice and wrap around mini smokies.
- Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake (per recipe below) and serve.
I love to use the mini cocktail smokies that have cheese in them if you can find them. If not, I sometimes add a tiny bit of grated or processed cheese inside when I’m wrapping the dough around the smokies! If you’d like, brush them with a bit of butter and some sesame seeds or everything seasoning before baking!
Dip these easy Pigs in a Blanket in mustard, ketchup, bbq sauce or chili sauce.

What brand of lil smokies do you use?
I usually buy whatever brand is on sale Lisa. I don’t have a preference, they all seem to turn out great!
Awesomely easy! By cutting the crescent roll into 1 inch sections, it makes the process super easy. I get 4 strips for each 1 inch roll.
Perfect!! I just made these again tonight too! Happy New Year!
Can you make these up the day before and bake them the next day?
Yes Betty, we do often make them ahead! Just wrap tightly with plastic wrap and take out of the fridge as you preheat the oven. Enjoy!
This recipe turned out to make the most delicious pigs in a blanket I have ever made. I loved it so much and will make it again! ❤️
