Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of all. I just love it! The food, the friends, the family…did I mention the food? I am a pretty traditional girl when it comes to my Thanksgiving spread. Give me all of the holiday fixings and I couldn’t be happier. Serve me a couple of delicious appetizers before hand and I am in food heaven. This Little Smokies Pigs in a BlanketWreath will definitely be on the menu! So simple and such a crowd pleaser, so make sure to keep scrolling down for the recipe!
I am also less than a week away from being reunited with my Tater!! He and his sweetheart are coming home for Thanksgiving and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I haven’t seen either of them since July and that is exactly 4 months too long. My plan for the holiday weekend includes spending as much time as I possibly can with all of our kids! Thankfully they like to help in the kitchen but that doesn’t mean I want to live in there. That is exactly why I like to have quick and impressive recipes like this Little Smokies pigs in a blanket wreath in my back pocket.
It starts with refrigerated pizza crust. Cut it into 36 rectangles with a pizza cutter or sharp knife and you are set to start rolling.
But not before you brush on a little garlic butter. We all know that a garlic butter makes everything better.
Roll each Little Smokie {pig} in one of the rectangles.
Place your oven safe bowl {this is going to hold the dip} in the middle of your pan {I used a 9″ spring form pan because of the removeable sides} and place the wrapped Little Smokies pigs in a blanket around it.
Bake your Little Smokies pigs in a blanket for 35-40 minutes or until the pizza crust is golden brown. Fill your bowl with your favorite dip {I chose BBQ} and enjoy! So fun and so delicious! It will be a hit at your next gathering.
Little Smokies Pigs in a Blanket Wreath
Little Smokies are wrapped in refrigerated pizza dough and baked in a spring form pan to create a wreath of Pig in a Blanket goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough {I used thin crust}
- 1 pkg. Little Smokie's
- 2 tbsp butter {melted}
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce or dip of choice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare spring form pan, by placing oven proof bowl in middle of pan and generously spraying pan and outside of bowl with nonstick spray. On a lightly floured surface and unroll tube of dough. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut into 36 rectangles. Combine melted butter and garlic powder, spread generously onto each rectangle. Wrap each little smokie into a piece of dough. Once all of the smokie's have been wrapped, begin to place them vertically into the prepared pan. You want them to be snug but not super tight. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Remove side of spring form pan, fill dish with dip of choice.
Serve your Little Smokies pigs in a blanket wreath and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- If you feel like the outside or tops of wrapped Pigs are getting to dark but not quite cooked through, then cover with foil for the remaining cook time.
