Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, savory sausage, and flaky crescent roll dough.
- Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. This will prevent the pigs in a blanket from cooking evenly.
- Bake the casserole until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese to set and the pigs in a blanket to hold their shape.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all good choices.
Conclusion:
Pigs in a blanket casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage or crescent roll dough. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
