❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pillsbury Pigs in a Blanket
1. Can I use a different type of sausage?
Yes, you can use any small, fully cooked sausage like mini hot dogs, kielbasa, or even vegetarian sausages. Just make sure they are about the same size as Lit’l Smokies so they fit in the dough.
2. How do I keep the dough from unrolling while baking?
Make sure to place the pigs in a blanket point side down on the baking sheet. The point will stick to the pan as it bakes and help seal the roll. You can also press the point gently into the dough.
3. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before baking. You can also freeze the unbaked rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.
4. What is the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to keep them crispy. The microwave will make the dough soft.
5. Can I add cheese or other fillings?
Absolutely. You can add a small piece of cheese, a slice of pickle, or a dab of mustard inside the roll before wrapping the sausage.
