We never use hot dog rolls anymore. These are sooo good and easy to make. My grandkids and kids love these. We all love them. Your kids will love you forever. The egg wash gives them that nice golden look. I hope you enjoy them. See the cheese dripping out... mmm.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These crescent wrapped hot dogs are a tasty alternative to a plain hot dog. Kids will love these. We love the idea of slicing the hot dog and stuffing it with American cheese. It makes the inside gooey and cheesy. Brushing the crescent dough with an egg wash browns the dough when baked. You can dip these in your favorite sauce (like ketchup or mustard), chili, or even nacho cheese. Yum!
