Start with the commercial grade chili. $1.00 a can at Stop and Shop.

The dogs must be inexpensive and pre-coooked.

Place chili, dog and some cheese inside. Roll it up.

Fry to a golden brown

Nicely browned and crispy.

Check 'em out. They are delicious in the best of a junk food kind off way.

I made these last night Doggy, man O man are these things GREAT!

I used the new Hebrew National large sized dogs (4 to a pack), a can of Hormel Hot Chili w/beans, and Sargento Mexican mix cheese.

They are addicting!!! This recipe is a keeper!

I remember them as sausages (usually small links) wrapped in some kinda biscuit or something, sometimes with cheese on top in a savory spread and other times with syrup for a sweeter taste.

My god those chimidoggies look darn good...

I'm not quite sure what's in these particular cabbage rolls. The pic is one I "borrowed" from a Google search. The stuffing in Babcia's halupkies was a mixture of ground pork and ground beef. I guess the pork is where the "pig" came from. pb

"Wiener Wrap your dog,

A new trick"

I convinced my Mom to try those once.

Growing up Pigs in a blanket was an order of sausages wrapped in pancakes at the IHOP. I did make them for after school snacks, hot dogs wrapped in defrosted cresent rolls and baked.

Growing up, my nan would make 'Pig's In a Blanket'....but they were closer to Porkbeak's friends mothers.

They were what most folks call 'Stuffed Cabbage' and they weren't stuffed with a wiener they were your typical ground beef with rice meat balls stuffed into a cabbage leaf and baked in a nice tomato sauce.

Now I did grow eating 'Wiener Wings', which were what folks here are calling 'Pigs In a Blanket', could be a hot dog wrapped in cresent dough, or more times then not a precooked dog laid diagonally across a piece of American cheese, laid diagonally across a piece of Wonder Bread, folded into a triangle secured, with toothe picks, and baked until the cheese and bread are toasty. These go great with tomato soup....

Uncle Vic will back me up on this one.

So far I haven't seen any mention of this style of a "Pig-In-A-Blanket" so may I contribute to this discussion.

Here in West Michigan Pigs-In-A-Blankets are a traditional Dutch Breakfast treat called "Worstebroodjes" are actually a beef/pork sausage mix and are rolled into the shape of a link sausage but
have no casing and are then wrapped in a pie crust or a layered
flaky pastry wrap and baked till golden brown.

Locally made by Stehouwer Frozen Foods in Grand Rapids.
http://www.stehouwerfrozenfoods.com/product_piginblanket.htm

These commercially prepared frozen pigs are available in most
Michigan grocery stores (Meijer & Spartan Stores) and can also be found at all Gordon Food Service Marketplace stores nationwide.

Fresh made daily Pigs-N-Blankets are also served on the breakfast
menu of the local Russ' restaurant chain every morning until they
run out.

When I was a kid and stayed for dinner at my friends house, his babcia made pigs in a blanket and they looked like this. pb

I am a big fan of pig's in a blanket..(Breakfast style)

I like link sausage inside pancakes.. I very rarely eat eggs, so that is a mainstay for me if I go out to breakfast.. If its not on the menu, I just order them seperate and make my own.

BTW....the U. S., National Pigs-in-a-Blanket Day is celebrated on April 24 ....

I started making tortilla wraps for the grandzillas about 15 years ago. I thought I invented them. Well, maybe I did but was probably not the first. And, the first time I saw one for sale was at the State Fair of Texas maybe ??? 8 years ago. My zillas come up w/ all kinds of tortilla wrap variations. Johnsonville Brats, tha ones made w/ cheese inside, is their current trend.

About those pigies, my mom made them w/ the crecent dough, and a dog slit and stuffed w/ cheese. And yes, a gourmet treat as a kid. Hmmm, I'm wantin one now!

Nothing new but a couple of nice PIAB twists that I like.

Larry,

This is a favorite quicky meal for me. I will add cheese to this along with mayonaise and ketchup. Sort of a lesser variation to the Sonoran dog.

The hotdog chimichanga was something that was served in my junior and high school in California. It was pure junk food heaven and I suspect a way for them to use up leftover hotdogs from the day before.
I bet some of the cart owners would make a killing if this was offered by them. I'ld buy one... and then another.

Ohhh, that sounds good!

Was a big burrito-style tortilla used? A toothpick or something used to hold it closed during frying?

I've heard it both ways dogs wrapped in bacon and sausage wrapped in pastry....
MY ADVICE from experience NEVER wrap A Nathons all beef in pastry comes out very greasy.

Hot dog wrapped in Pillsbury Crescent Dough, and then baked. I thought it was a gourmet delight when Mom made them.

Crescent roll dough, right from the can, is the traditional blanket to me.
But:
Last week I wrapped a leftover andouille sausage in a thin pancake-style scrambled egg, and had it on a hot dog roll for breakfast.
With hot sauce, of course.
Not bad.

Yep - the blanket is always a dough whether it's yeast, crescent, or pancake.

Hi,
50 years ago my mother called hot dogs wrapped in bacon,held together with toothpicks "Pigs in a blanket" Before wrapping the hotdog,she put a slit down the length,added a bit of cheese and a little wedge of cheese,then broiled them. To us,that was "Pigs in a blanket" I still make them today,although my wife knows the more traditional way with Pillsbury Crescent dough

another vote for crescent rolls wrapped around hot dogs...wit cheese.

Kick it up a notch by adding partially cooked bacon around the dog
and some dipping sauces....poor man's gourmet.

The pigs in a blanket of my youth came from my school lunchroom and were a delicious soft yeast dough wrapped around a standard wiener with mustard inside.. I often dreamed of those wonderful dogs until I learned to make the dough myself, and could put any kind of wurst inside..I love them with garlic wurst. I've made the other kind with crescent dough, but it just isn't the same as a nice fat, fluffy yeast dough.
I used to get excited seeing them on pancake house menus until I found out they were just pancakes wrapped around sausages.. you can't find my kind of piggies in restaurants.

Pigs in a blanket were what I always ordered at IHOP when I was a kid, sausages wrapped in pancakes.
