[yeah i know]

This looks exactly like my oven!

[klingonprins]

that is your oven, yeah.  random instructables fans come and use your oven to test their ideas before they do them at home, just in case it explodes.  i came in to test my grilled cheese idea (by now exploded), and shared these pigs in a blanket (pigs in blankets??) with mikey.

[Mikey D]

Darn it Klingon!  Now where are we going to test out our stuff?!?

[Flyinseamnky]

Umm football food. Making some now.

This is weird! I've only just discovered this whilst looking for something to cook as a midnight snack, is this an american thing? In Britain, we have pigs in blankets as sausages wrapped in bacon! I suppose you could argue that pig wouldn't wrap themselves in other pigs, but it's a lot tastier!

Pigs in a Blanket really are the ultimate party snack. Instead of using biscuits, I cut Pillsbury Crescents in half and then wrap the little smokies. That way it's flaky and more buttery.

"Pigs in a blanket" Aren't they just mini sausage rolls?

[Mikey D]

Sure are! This is what my family calls them. However, a sausage roll by any other name...

[baneat]

..Would be just as bad for your health haha. I was just making the point that these are quite easily available, if indeed they were sausage rolls, and that you don't need to make them from scratch if you want to eat them :)

Pigs in a blanket

My favorite? "Monkeys undercover."

I dunno. "meat stuff inside bread stuff" is pretty universal. I've had a larger version of this at RenFairs claiming to be "toad in the hole" (claimed to be Ren. english, except that "real" TitH recipes are quite different.) I suspect that the american version originated with the one of the manufacturers (mini hot-dogs or packaged biscuits.) (see also Bageldog, corndog, pork bun, pastie, sausage roll, etc, etc, etc.)

[babyhulk]

Yes, those look good, But, I just use Hot Dogs and Biscuts... :)

[Mikey D]

Thanks for the great comments folks! And thanks for the variations! Mikey

I love these! I help my mom make them at super bowl time. We use crescent rolls though, cut into smaller triangles.

[MeDiuMRaRe]

Try this: instead of biscuits get the Orange Flavored Cinnamon Rolls. Be sure to get savory little sausages. After cooking drizzle with the included orange sauce! Yumm!

[thematthatter]

this is how i make them except with a sliver of cheese with the cocktail wiener. Does anybody know the origin of this dish? i thought it was Czech/German origin because its very popular in Texas Ive seen bacon wrapped around a hotdog called a pig in a blanket as well.

[=SMART=]

awwwwww im sooo hungry! they look very tasty!! nice work :D

[westfw]

Nicely done Instructable... I usually make ours with crescent rolls, and they are indeed a favorite. We preferred some mini-hotdogs using mixed meats (they seemed to be less greasy than the beef lil' smokies, believe it or not), but they seem to no longer be available. It's worth experimenting with different sausages to see what you like best.

[sleeps]

I've always loved pigs in a blanket... until I've eaten more than half of one. I don't know what it is, but I just get sick of them... Oh well.

[Brennn10]

Nothing beats pigs in a blanket. Classic summer food. Nice job.

[Deltaforce2555]

And now I have a craving of pigs in a blanket.

[Mr. Rig It]

You're makin me hungry Mikey. These came out looking really nice, professional looking. If you can call pigs in a blanket professional :) Try throwing those little smokies in a small crock pot with a lot of BBQ sauce. Talk about good!
