Pigs in a Blanket Christmas Tree
December 20, 2017
So here is a Christmas tree made out of pigs in a blanket. Happy holidays and see you next year!
I mean, you guys know how to make pigs in a blanket. Do I really need to show you? I have tried and nothing works as well as the refrigerated can of dough for these. Unless you want to spend a whole day and a half making a Christmas tree of pigs in a blanket and I don't think you do.
A simple cheese sauce is the tinsel of this tree.
Build it up.
Pour it on.
Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree, your pigs are so in blankets.
Have a good Holiday and New Years and I will see you in 2018!
Pigs in a Blanket Christmas Tree
- cheese sauce
- 14 ounces Evaporated Milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 8 ounces Cheddar Cheese
- 8 ounces Jack Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
- pigs
- 3 packages mini hot dogs about 42 ounces
- 3 packages refrigerated pastry dough (you know what kind I'm talking about)
- Pickled Jalapenos
- Diced Tomatoes
Instructions
Make the cheese sauce
- Mix the cornstarch into the milk until it is dissolved. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the mustard and cheeses. Continue to stir until the cheeses are melted, turning the heat on low if needed.
Make the pigs
- Unroll the pastry dough and cut it into strips. You only want a thin strip wrapped around each dog.
- Wrap the dogs one by one and place on a baking sheet. Bake them for 10 or 15 minutes, whatever the package says.
- Meanwhile, cut a star out from the pastry dough and stick a skewer into it. Bake for 15 minutes.
Make the tree
- Build the tree with the pigs. Stick the star on top.
- Pour the cheese sauce on top and decorate with the jalapenos and tomatoes.
