Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough {aka Big Pig in a Blanket}

Pigs in Blankets

Get a room full of people together for nearly any occasion, set out a platter of Pigs in a Blanket, and prepare to watch them disappear.  In a hurry.

We’ve become very fond of Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage.  They seem to be on the menu most every week in one form or another.  It was on the back of their packaging that I saw this fabulous idea for Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough

Pillsbury Original Breadsticks

Wrap cooked sausages in breadstick dough and bake them….Pigs in a Blanket style.  Yet, bigger with grown up flavor.

    Libby what a great recipe. It brought back memories of when my mother used to make mini ones when I was growing up in Florida and I made them for my kids here in England. Reminds me that I really do need to make them again xoxo
