Pigs in a Blanket with Cheddar, Bacon & Ranch

Pigs in a blanket are my kryptonite. I have zero self-control around a plate of pigs in a blanket. These Crack Pigs in a Blanket are next-level delicious! As you know, the “Crack” combination of cheddar, bacon, and ranch is our all-time favorite. Combine that with my addiction to pigs in a blanket – HEAVEN!! I ate way too many of these things and I’m not ashamed. They are so good!

How to Make Pigs in a Blanket

These pigs in a blanket are super easy to make! They take about 5 minutes to prepare and about 15 minutes to bake. Start with separating the crescent roll dough into triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 triangles. Spread ranch dressing over the crescent rolls, top with precooked bacon, cheddar cheese slice, and a lit’l smokie. Roll up and place on a baking sheet.

• What does “crack” mean? Crack refers to the combination of cheddar, bacon, and ranch. It all started with Crack Dip way back in 2007. If a recipe has “crack” in the title it means it has cheddar, bacon, and ranch and is really, really good!
• I use a pizza cutter to cut crescent rolls into three triangles.
• Can use regular or low-fat crescent rolls.
• I like Ken’s Ranch Dressing or Hidden Valley Ranch. You can also use our Homemade Outback Ranch Dressing: https://www.plainchicken.com/copycat-outback-ranch-dressing/
• Can substitute precooked turkey bacon for regular pork bacon.
• Can Crack Pigs in a Blanket be made in advance? Sure. You can assemble the pigs in a blanket and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. This appetizer is good hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature. I think these taste best the day they are baked.
• If you are transporting these to a party, look at getting an insulated carrier. I like this one from Pyrex: (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/3kk5ggs
• How many pigs in a blanket per person? This recipe makes 3 dozen pigs in a blanket. I estimate each person will eat about 4 pigs in a blanket depending on what else you serve. I would say that is enough for 9 to 10 people.
