easy appetizer

Our summertime schedule always seems to fill up with potlucks, picnics and parties. I love it. We had a neighborhood block party this week. We actually didn't end up going, but had every intention of attending. I made up a batch of these appetizers for the soiree and ended up sending them with Cori to his young men's activity. One of those nights, you know? 

But, I digress. These babies only require about 15 minutes of prep and another 13 minutes in the oven. And one batch will make around 4 dozen pieces (depending on how many sausages are in your pack of lit'l smokies) . AND they disappear. Fast. I never have leftovers.

Crescent Wrapped Sausage Bites

1 package Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 pieces per can)

  1. Using a pizza cutter, cut each triangle of crescent dough into three elongated triangles. See picture above.
  2. Place a sausage link at the wide end of each triangle and roll to the narrow end. Arrange on a cookie sheet. I can usually get the whole lot onto one baker's half sheet.
  3. Bake according to directions on the crescent roll can. You may need to leave them in a little longer- just watch for the tops to brown.
They are pretty yummy. I'm not much of a sausage lover- a great disappointment to my husband- but I really like these. And it is an easy combo that you can play with. I made them into snails for a Halloween party a couple years ago. I wrapped the dough around one end of the sausage (instead of down the middle) to make the shell and then made antennae using halved toothpicks and chunks of cheese.

Babe- We could have gone with out ya. But remember my fatigued state upon your homecoming? I wasn't really up to it either way. And you had a killer day yesterday. It was nice to just be at home with you for a bit before you took off for church. We'll catch the next one. :)

Thanks for another fab recipe. I keep printing them. Also-we are having the same gardening issues in terms of weather. My peas just started peaking through the soil after being drowned out for so long. Tomatoes growing crazy like usual though. We are just doing some small planters-not a huge thing this yr. I figure we'll get a little bit larger each year.

You guys are so cute. :) And one thing's for sure-- we sure appreciate the recipe! (I'm not much of a sausage lover myself, but I'm with you--these look good!)
