I served these with Zatarain’s Creole Mustard, but you can use any mustard.

Other sauces that would be delicious are:

  • BBQ Sauce
  • Cheese Sauce
  • Ranch Dressing
  • Spicy Mayo
  • Maple Dijon
  • Ketchup
  • Chile Cheese Sauce

how do we make these?

Retro Pigs In A Blanket

I just use the Li’l Smokies for this recipe and a can of crescent rolls that I slice in half, making 16 triangles. Starting at the fat end I just roll up. When they’ve all been rolled up, I brush them with an egg wash and for these I sprinkled with Poppy Seeds. Sesame seeds would be great or the Everything Bagel seasoning would be delicious too! I cook them on a sheet pan lined with parchment to prevent burning the bottoms until they are golden brown.
