Ingredients
- 2 packages (8 count each) crescent roll dough ($3.96)
- 1 package (14 ounces) cocktail weenies ($3.98)
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Prepare crescents. Separate the crescent roll dough and lay the triangles flat. Using a pizza cutter, slice each triangle lengthwise from tip to base to create two thinner triangles.
- Assemble. Place one cocktail weenie at the wide end of each crescent strip. Roll the dough up and around the weenie until fully enclosed.
- Bake. Arrange the wrapped smokies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cool. Let rest on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Efficiency. This recipe is simple but time-consuming; extra hands help speed up rolling.
- Make ahead. Assemble and refrigerate on a baking sheet, covered, for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Storage. Store baked smokies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing. Freeze before or after baking for up to 3 months. If freezing unbaked, freeze flat first, then transfer to a container and bake from frozen at 400°F for about 25 minutes.
