Glazed Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

 

Did you know National Pigs in a Blanket Day is a thing? It's April 24th, by the way ;)  I sometimes like to cook recipes based off silly National Holidays and found this one, so I just had to try it. I made it to bring in to work for lunch and it was a big hit! The glaze is so yummy! I found the original recipe Here

Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

For the Pigs in Blankets:

• 1 (12 oz.) package Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies or other mini hot dogs
• 2 tubes crescent rolls

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 c. unsalted butter
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 2 T. yellow mustard
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp. poppy seeds
• 1/2 tsp. onion powder
• pinch of salt
• pinch of pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Cut each triangle (through the point) into two pieces, creating two long triangles from each.
2. Place a Lit'l Smokie toward the wide end of each crescent dough piece. Beginning at the wide end, roll each Lit'l Smokie up in the crescent dough, ending at the dough's tip. Each Lit'l Smokie should peek out a bit on both sides of the roll.
3. Place rolls in a 9x13-inch baking dish greased with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; remove from heat as soon as glaze comes to a boil.
5. Brush tops of pigs in a blanket rolls with glaze to coat each one. Then pour remaining glaze over rolls.
6. Bake uncovered at 375℉ for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
