Instructions

Step 1: Roll out the dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Roll out the crescent roll dough and cut into thin strips.

step 2: create the pigs in a blanket

Wrap one strip of crescent dough around each Little Smokie until covered.

Step 3: Arrange the skillet

Arrange the wrapped pigs in a blanket around a bowl in a circular ring until the skillet is full.

Remove the bowl carefully, leaving an open space in the center.

Step 4: brush and sprinkle

Brush the tops generously with melted butter.

Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly over the top.

Step 5: prepare the queso

Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.

Prepare the queso by combining cheddar blocks, velveeta blocks, and milk on the stove with medium heat and stirring until melted.

Step 5: Add the queso

Pour the warm queso directly into the center of the pull-apart ring.

Serve Immediately while hot

Pro Tips

Don't overcrowd the skillet-leave enough room for the dough to expand as it bakes.

Brush with butter after arranging everything for even coverage.

Keep the queso warm until serving for the smoothest consistency.

Pair with mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing for even more dipping options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the pigs in a blanket several hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Can I make this spicy?

Yes! Add diced jalapeños, chipotle peppers, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to the queso for extra heat.

Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls?

Definitely. Puff pastry creates a flakier, crispier version that's equally delicious.
