My family loves this fun recipe! We have had these for parties, but also for just a fun dinner that is a bit different! I grew up having Pigs in a Blanket for specialty events like family game nights, football fun, and just any time that they sounded good to us! This is a super simple recipe with just TWO ingredients that anyone can do, so add it to your menu rotation soon!

Ingredients:

• 1 Package of Little Smokies
• 1 Package of Crescent Rolls

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Unroll your crescent roll dough onto a cookie sheet.
• Separate into 8 triangles.
• Cut each triangle into 2 triangles.
• Place each of the little smokies on one of your triangles.
• Roll each of them up.
• Space them out on your cookie sheet.
• Bake 12-15 minutes, or until a golden brown.
• Remove from the cookie sheet and serve warm.

Notes:

• You can cut each triangle into 3 super skinny triangles where your little smokies will stick out on the ends.
• For some triangles, I do a simple roll up, but for the others, I use a method more like putting on a diaper.
• If you want the little smokies fully covered with crescent roll, then leave them in their original triangles!

I hope your family and friends will LOVE these Pigs in a Blanket for your next event, or even for a fun family dinner! So, make sure to add these 2 ingredients to your Commissary shopping list!

However, who wants the same old traditional menu each and every year? NO ONE! You have to keep it fresh and keep it fun! There are the traditional items that will be included, as we want those who are eating at our house to feel as though they are back home. Creating new dishes that will become favorites for the remainder of the year is a must. So, when my husband mentioned that he wanted Green Bean Casserole again this year, I thought about ways to make our traditional meal different.  I decided to play around with it and see what I could do just to spice it up a little bit. What I came up with, is so simple and easy – it takes two seconds to do, AND it adds just those little twists that makes it my own.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 cup milk
• ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
• 4 cans Green Beans, drained
• 2 ⅔ cups Fried Onions
• 1/2 handfuls of chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Add soup, milk, black pepper, beans, walnuts, and 1 ⅓ cups onions in 3-qt. baking dish.
• Stir until mixed well.
• Bake for 25 min. or until bean mixture is hot and bubbling.
• Stir bean mixture.
• Sprinkle remaining onions over mixture.
• Bake for an additional 5 min. or until onions are golden brown.

When I tell you that this recipe is going to be a winner, I am not lying! I made this ahead of time so that I could try it out on my family before the huge Thanksgiving meal. It was a huge hit! I do recommend letting it cool just a bit before you dive in (just saying, I burned the roof of my mouth, because I didn’t want to wait). Adding this little twist puts an entirely different spin on this classic recipe! I am sure your family is going to savor every bite!
