"When a man's stomach is full
it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor."
Euripides (BC 480 - 406 Greek Tragic Poet)
Another
excellent
side
for
any
sports
watching
event.
Can
be
served
side
by
side
with
the
Texas
Shooters
and
kept
warm
for
the
duration
of
the
event.
The
cooked
"pigs"
can
be
kept
warm
by
placing
them
in
a
crock-pot
set
on
warm or low.
These
pigs
have
been
around
for
quite
some
time
and
many
people
just
don’t
realize
how
easy
they
are
to
make
at
home.
The
American
Farm
Bureau

Agriculture
calendar
includes
a
"National
Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day" to be observed every April 24.
What You’ll Need
Can of refrigerated biscuit dough (country style, buttermilk etc.)
Package of beef or pork cocktail wieners (such as Hillshire Farms Lil’ Smokies).
How It’s Done
Preheat the oven or grill as directed on the biscuit package. If on a grill, use indirect heating.
Open biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half. Using your fingers stretch out each piece into roughly a triangle shape.
Place
a
wiener
on
the
wide
side
end
of
the
dough
and
roll
up
to
the
narrow
end.
If
there
is
dough
extending
past
each
end
simply
tuck under the bottom. Place on un-greased cookie sheet.
Once all are done, place in oven/grill for approximately 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip
If
you
like
something
a
little
spicier,
thinly
slice
or
dice
some
pickled
jalapeños
and
put
a
few
pieces
on
the
inside
of
the
dough
prior
to
rolling
the
wiener
up.
If
you
are
making
a
mixture
of
spicy
and
mild,
push
a
piece
of
jalapeño
into
the
outside
of
the
dough after it has been rolled up for easy identification.
As
a
change
you
can
also
roll
up
a
small
piece
of
cheese
(pepper
jack,
cheddar,
mozzarella
etc)
with
the
weiner.
You
can
also
use
a
little dab of jalapeño cream cheese inside.
