Lil’ Smokies Pigs in a Blanket

 

1 package Lil’ Smokies sausages

1 sheet frozen pizza dough, thawed

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1–2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Optional dipping sauces: spicy mustard, marinara, ranch, BBQ

 

Preheat the oven to 400.  Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into long strips about 2 inches wide. Wrap the Lil’ Smokies — Place one Lil’ Smokie near the top edge of each dough strip. Roll downward, wrapping the dough around the sausage.  Leave a little sausage sticking out on each end.  Transfer the wrapped Smokies to a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Brush each one lightly with the egg wash. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.  Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. If the dough browns before the sausages are heated through, loosely tent with foil and continue baking until done. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like spicy mustard, marinara, or BBQ.
