Ingredients
- 14 oz Lit'l Smokies drained and patted dry
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 4.5 oz can green chilies drained
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, then spray a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

- Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the crescent roll pieces, spreading a thin layer on each one.
- Then, place a Lit’l Smokie on the widest end of each piece of dough. Roll it up.
- Place the pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
- Jalapeno Popper Pigs in a Blanket are a great recipe to whip when feeding a group!
- You can substitute jalapenos for canned green chilies. When using fresh jalapenos, the taste and texture are different, and the dish is spicier.
- You can prepare these up to 2 days before baking them. Once prepared, cover them in plastic wrap and refrigerate until it’s time to bake them.
