Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Unroll can of the dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles.
Place sausage crosswise on widest end of a dough triangle, and roll up toward opposite point. Place point side down on parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat with remaining sausage and dough triangles. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, if using.
Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the inside reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
Transfer your pigs in a blanket to a serving platter. Serve with dipping sauces.

Notes

Serve with Yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard, ketchup, BBQ, honey mustard, ranch, or warm cheese dip.

To double this recipe, place one oven rack in the top third of the oven and one in the bottom. Use two sheet pans for the pigs in a blanket.. Rotate sheets, top to bottom, halfway through cooking time.

Variations:

Seasonings: Brush tops with an egg wash and sprinkle coarse salt, everything bagel seasoning, or sesame seeds to give these crescent roll hot dogs an extra boost of flavor.
Garlic Butter: A slathering of garlic butter after they come out of the oven can take them in a totally different direction.
Shredded Cheese: Sprinkle on some shredded Parmesan or cheddar cheese before baking your mini pigs in a blanket.
