Pigs in a Blanket with Dipping Sauces

Best of all, you can make these pigs in a blanket in no time!

It’s one of my go-to recipes when I want something fun and tasty but don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen.

Tips & Tricks

  • Be sure to grab some ketchup and mustard for dipping. Also goes great with chili and baked beans.
  • If you’re not a hot dog fan, you can also wrap these in little smokies, Vienna sausages, or breakfast sausages.
  • Change it up with your favorite cheese! This recipe uses American cheese but you can also use Velveeta, Parmesan,
    cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, provolone, you name it.
  • If you’re not a fan of cheese, you can also leave it out altogether. It’s delicious either way.
  • They also make an excellent snack the next day. But if you’re like my family, we rarely see any leftovers with this meal.
  • Kids and adults alike love making these little pigs in a blanket! If you’re looking for something fun for you and your kids to do together. This is always a winner. There’s just something special about eating something you made yourself.
  • If you want to change things up, you can also wrap your hot dogs in a thin piece of bacon. Yummy.

  2. I have been making those Pig-a-Blanket for over 30 years. I must say that my family always loves it when I make them.
