Ingredients
8 hot dogs
4 slices (3/4 oz each) American cheese, each cut into 6 strips
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Slit hot dogs to within 1/2 inch of ends; insert 3 strips of cheese into each slit.

 

2. Separate dough into triangles. Wrap dough triangle around each hot dog. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, cheese side up.

 

3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Expert Tips: American cheese is a good choice for easy melting, but other varieties of deli-sliced cheeses, like Havarti, smoked Gouda, Provolone, and pepper Jack work well, too.

Refrigerated doughs are easier to work with when chilled, so keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to fill the hot dogs with cheese.

Let the kids build their own crescent dogs for dinner! Set out all the fixings (including different cheeses for picky eaters) and let everyone make their own rolled-up creations. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces—barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, and mustard are all tasty options.
