Quick and Kid Friendly "Dogs in a Duvet"

 

So, sometimes when you're a mother you have to give in and make things that you wouldn't otherwise be thrilled to make.  For me its hot dogs.  Ask my mom and she will tell you that in my youth I would NEVER eat hot dogs, I was always the one kid at the BBQ who got a burger.  I was that crazy about it.  I think at that point I really thought it was a dog and that's why I didn't like them...I've always loved dogs and would never eat one, that goes for horses too LOL! But anyway, my boys (all of them) love them. I have somehow come around to hot dogs myself but this is by far my favorite way to have to eat a hot dog.   I know this recipe has been done a million times before but those who haven't seen it, its super duper easy and guaranteed to make the kids happy.  I usually bake fries or make good ol' Kraft Mac N Cheese (which shhhhh I've figured out I can mix Greek yogurt instead of the milk and butter and no one knows the difference :))  I know we are all trying to get away from processed foods but sometimes, you just can't. In my case, we have our poor part of the year where as much as I'd love to NOT have to do it, boxed Mac N Cheese and hot dogs because its what we can afford in our budget (and when they're on a good sale I stock up for the freezer).  This is another reason why I have really decided to give moose a chance and make it a part of my diet especially since I live here in AK.  Meat costs a lot generally and with moose you can flavor it endlessly.  Anyway, I could go on and on about it but yes, sometimes you just have to make due with what you have and that's OK.   I can still make it taste better by adding things to it! 

So here we go! This all together shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to prepare and bake.  You want fast you got it!! :)

Dogs in a Duvet

So 3 ingredients are all you need!  I didn't notice when I got my crescent rolls I got the Jumbo ones and there are less roll than the regular size so I didn't get to use all my hot dogs but it was enough.  Also, I just buy what's on sale as far as the rolls, tried them all and they're all the same!

1 package hot dogs of your choice

1 package crescent rolls

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

On a parchment paper or foil lined baking sheet, press your crescent rolls a little flatter with your fingers

Then add the cheese to the long corner...how ever much you'd like :)

Add your hot diggity dog and...

Roll it up!!  (generally I use both hands LOL)

I had some pepperoni I decided to add to a couple and pep it up!

Once they are all rolled up, I always add any extra cheese to the top. 

Throw in the oven and bake @ 425 for about 15 minutes, you'll know when they're done because they are nice and golden!

Look at those!  So good, so easy!
