Ok y’all, as you can see, this is not your average pigs in a blanket recipe! It’s kind of an adult version using smoked kielbasa, mustard and puffed pastry with a poppy seed topping. This yummy snack is great for game day, an afternoon snack, a cocktail party or tailgating.
I know that whenever someone says they are bringing “pigs in a blanket” to a party, it conjures up fond memories of a childhood favorite dish. Cute little pieces of hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls and baked to perfection. Don’t get me wrong, I still love those tasty bites but it was time to put a new twist on this classic recipe. My version comes together so quickly and is much easier to make ~ no wrapping each little piece, just slice and bake. You can change up this recipe by adding spicy or honey mustard then using sesame seeds instead of poppy. Really though, and I’m speaking the truth here…what’s not to love about a hot dog wrapped in warm bread!

Love the recipes but love the blogs that go with them even more. You remind me of the women that were not only instructive but loving in my past; my two grandmothers, and my mother who passed at 45 when I was 19 and only just married. I’m now 64, our six children are all grown and married (I only have one that lives close), and you have brought back ‘home’ to me.
Oh my goodness, Melinda, this is one of best compliments I’ve ever gotten. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with me. I love what A Southern Soul has become and I have made so many new friends through my little spot “on the web.” I hope you’ll stop by again and let me know how you like what’s going on.
Have a wonderful day!
