Pretzel Pigs in a Blanket: 1 pack Lit’l Smoked Sausages 1 roll crescent dough sheet 8 cups water 1/2 cup baking soda 1 tsp flakey or course salt 1 whisked egg (for egg wash) Roll out dough sheet and slices into 6 long strips. Cut each strip into 5 sections. Roll 1 little smoked sausage into each section. Refrigerate until ready to use. Boil water then gently add baking soda and little at a time (so it does not boil over). Gently drop pigs in a blanket into water. Once they rise to the top, remove them (about 15 seconds). Place pigs in a blanket onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle on salt. Bake in a convection oven at 425°F (or air fry) for 12 minutes or until they are dark golden brown. Beer cheese: 2 Tbsp salted butter 3 Tbsp flour 1 cup light beer 1 cup whole milk 2.5 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar Cook butter and flour together on medium heat for 1 minute, pour in beer and stir until there are no clumps left. Pour in milk and whisk until thickened. Shut off the heat and stir in cheese until smooth. Serve warm beer cheese with pretzel pigs in a blanket. Enjoy! Tips: if making ahead of time, simply reheat pigs in a blanket in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes. Reheat cheese in microwave in 20 second increments stirring in between until smooth and warmed through #gameday #gamedayfood #appetizers #easyrecipes #foodie #foodblogger #pigsinablanket #beercheese #simplerecipes
