Recipe-of-the-month

Pigs-in-a-Blanket

By Jennifer Ward
Our traditional Halloween dinner

1 bag frozen dinner rolls, Rhodes or Bridgeford dough
1 package Lil’ Smokies - my family prefers the Beef Smokies
butter

Place package of frozen rolls on the counter to thaw for one hour. When dough is soft, wrap one Lil’ Smokie in each roll. (FYI: The Lil’ Smokie is the pig and the roll is the blanket.) Place wrapped pigs on a greased cookie sheet about one inch apart. Let the rolls rise until double in size (about 5 hours in the winter and 2-3 in the warmer months). To speed up the rising process: place the pan of wrapped pigs on top of your preheated oven – this cuts rising time in half. Preheat oven to 350°. Cook pigs-in-a-blanket for 15 – 18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven. While they are fresh from the oven spread butter over the tops of the rolls. Serve with ketchup and mustard. Enjoy!
