Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 1 (8-ounce) can crescent roll dough
  • 5 1/2 teaspoons barbecue sauce
  • 1/3 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds, optional
  • Additional barbecue sauce, optional
Directions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  2. 2

    Unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 16 triangles. Spread barbecue sauce lightly over each triangle. Sprinkle with Cheddar.

  3. 3

    Cut each hot dog in half; trim off rounded ends. Place one hot dog piece at wide end of one dough triangle. Roll up jelly roll style from wide end. Place point side down on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, if desired. Repeat with remaining hot dog pieces and dough.

  4. 4

    Bake until dough is puffed and golden, about 13 minutes. Cool 1 to 2 minutes on baking sheet. Serve warm with additional barbecue sauce for dipping, if desired.

Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

These mini hot dog snacks were a favorite munchie when everyone gathered at Grandma's and Grandpa's to watch the Super Bowl. We'd help Grandma assemble four or five batches of franks in advance, placing them on baking sheets and stacking them in the refrigerator. Because they baked up quickly, Grandma just popped another tray into the oven when the supply was running low. That way she could enjoy the fun too.
