Ingredients
  

  • 1 can crescent rolls
  • 1 package cheddar Little Smokies
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F, then line a baking sheet with parchment paper (if desired for easier clean-up)
  • Unroll the crescent rolls and cut into 3 triangles.
  • Add your Little Smokie on top and roll up tightly, starting from the wide end.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder.
  • Place the rolls seam-side down on your baking sheet, then brush with garlic butter.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Variations:

  • Wrap different flavors of cheese slices around your Little Smokies to make your pigs in a blanket extra cheesy.
  • Try wrapping your Little Smokies with a half slice of bacon before rolling it in the crescent dough.
  • After you've brushed the butter on, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning before baking.

Helpful Tips:

  • Bake seam-side down so they don't unroll as they bake.
  • Try to space them out on your baking sheet so they bake more evenly.
  • Brush with some extra garlic butter when they come out of the oven for even more flavor.
  • Make a simple mustard dipping sauce with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.

Storage 

  • Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating

  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 7-8 minutes or until warmed through.
  • Microwave for 10-20 seconds (keep in mind the crescent rolls will be soft if using this method to warm them.
