Ingredients
- 2 (8-oz) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (14-oz) package Hillshire Farms Lit’l Smokies
- â…“ cup Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll both cans of crescent roll dough and separate each into 16 triangles, for a total of 32 triangles. Spread a heaping teaspoon of Dijon mustard evenly on each triangle to add a flavorful tang.
- Slice the Dough: Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles, creating 96 thin strips of dough perfect for wrapping the sausages.
- Wrap the Sausages: Place one Lit’l Smokie on the wide end of each dough strip, then roll the dough around the sausage, sealing the edges slightly as you go. Arrange the wrapped sausages on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and a beautiful golden brown.
Notes
- For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Dijon mustard before spreading.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the cookie sheet to allow even baking and browning.
- Serve warm with additional mustard or your favorite dipping sauce.
- You can prepare these ahead and refrigerate before baking, adding a couple extra minutes to the bake time if cooking from cold.
