Monday Night Football!

Children and men love this recipe… namely because it can be eaten with bare hands! However, it can be messy because of the flaky crescent rolls. So, plates should be available.
This is a great recipe to use as an introduction to cooking for children and novice cooks. Additionally, it can be contoured to a crowd and will not break the bank. In fact, it can be used as the main dish at your football party when it is accompanied with a number of fun dipping sauces such as Tom Brady BBQ, Joe Montana mustard’s (Dijon, honey, yellow), Pittsburgh Steelers’ sweet & sour, Joe Flacco fiery salsa, etc. Be creative!
Big Pigs in Big Blankets
8 hot dogs, partially split along length
Cheddar cheese, cut into strips
8 ounce can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Fill each hot dog with strips of cheese.
Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place hot dog on each triangle and roll up.
Place rolled hot dogs onto a greased cookie sheet (cheese side up) and bake at 375F for 10 – 12 minutes.
My Uncle Dutch made these for me when I was a child. Good & fun to eat!
I have to admit~ I’ve never had these, but I’m not so sure. Seems like I might prefer a regular bun over the cheese/crescent combination.
However, everything else on your website always makes my mouth water!
Susan — I cooked these tonight and they were great… and fun. I had some basic sauces and a sweet n’ sour. Kind of neat with the various sauces.
This would be great for a bunch of kids or a youth group function… kind of like a baked potato party in that it is cheap, feeds a large crowd, and toppings are the key to the success of this dish.
Try it… it may surprise you!
Ok, I might just give it a try…they sure seem easy to make! The guys in my family really like a good hotdog.
