"Behold the most gigantic pigs in a blanket you've ever come across, with a more meaty sausage center, a salty, yeasty pretzel roll and a hint of sharp Cheddar cheese for good measure. Appropriately super-sized for game day, these crowd pleasers can be served whole as main dishes or sliced into rounds for easy party finger food. If your kielbasa comes in long ropes, cut it into links about 4 1/2 inches in length...."
