CRESCENT WRAPPED CHEESE HOT DOGS



Crescent Wrapped Cheese Hot Dogs image

These crescent wrapped hot dogs are a tasty alternative to a plain hot dog. Kids will love these. We love the idea of slicing the hot dog and stuffing it with American cheese. It makes the inside gooey and cheesy. Brushing the crescent dough with an egg wash browns the dough when baked. You can dip these in your favorite sauce...

This is another of my family's favorite recipes from the Pillsbury Halloween magazine I bought. They are really cute with little mustard eyes and mouth. I also mix equal parts mustard and ketchup together for dipping. Fun, easy and they taste good too!

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 47m

Yield 10 Mummies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls (8 count)
2 1/2 slices american cheese slices, quartered
10 large hot dogs
cooking spray
mustard (or both, if desired) or ketchup (or both, if desired)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F
  • Unroll dough; separate at perforations creating 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.
  • Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).
  • Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face."
  • On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
  • Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face.".

CRESCENT DOGS

We usually eat these more for lunch than as an appetizer.

Provided by linda hennessey

Categories     Meat Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 hot dogs (cut in half to make 8 short dogs)
4 slice american cheese (each cut into quarters & then small strips)
1 can(s) 8 oz. refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 375 F. Slit hot dogs to within 1/2 inch of ends; insert strips of cheese into each slit.
  • 2. Separate dough into triangles. Wrap dough triangle around each hot dog. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, cheese side up.
  • 3. Bake at 375 F for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of hot dogs: Beef, pork, or turkey hot dogs can all be used in this recipe. However, beef hot dogs are the most traditional and have the best flavor.
  • Use a good quality crescent roll dough: The quality of the crescent roll dough will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a dough that is fresh and has a good rise.
  • Don't overstuff the crescent rolls: Too much filling will make the crescent rolls difficult to roll and will cause them to burst open during baking.
  • Bake the crescent dogs until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the crescent rolls are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the crescent dogs immediately: Crescent dogs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Crescent dogs are a quick and easy appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying treat that everyone will love.
