Those Campfire Recipes ~ Pigs In A Blanket

Want to surprise every one on your next trip outdoors? Serve up some Pigs In A Blanket paired with spicy brown mustard and you will be pronounced camp chef royalty. Easy to make with the help of your trusty dutch oven and oh.so.good.

You'll need:
1 dutch oven liner
aluminum foil
2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package little smoky cheese and beef sausages
non-stick spray
charcoal
dutch oven.

Light 20 coals. Lightly grease liner with non-stick spray. Cut each crescent roll into 3 triangles and wrap a sausage in each one.* Spray liner and arrange on tray one deep. you will have to make this in at least 2 batches depending on your size dutch oven.

 Crumble 4 balls of aluminum foil and place on bottom of dutch oven. This will hold your liner above the surface of the dutch oven ensuring more even cooking. Put liner in oven and make sure lid is on tight. Place oven on 7 evenly spread coals and put another 13 coals on the lid. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with mustard.

*Note: little smokies have about 40 pieces in the package and you actually have enough crescent rolls for 48 so cut 40 pieces of dough and reserve the rest to stuff with something else or just enjoy a crescent roll or two for yourself.
