Ingredients For Crescent Hot Dogs

  • Crescent Rolls: You can find them in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, near the other dough products. You’ll need one can for every eight hot dogs. Keep the dough in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. It is easier to work with when it’s cold.
  • Hot Dogs: I used any hot dogs for this recipe, but you can use your favorite brand you like. Just make sure to get the larger sized hot dogs, not the mini ones.
  • Cheese: I used cheddar cheese for these, but you could also use any other favorite cheese.

How To Make Crescent Dogs Step by Step

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  3. Open the can of crescent rolls and lay them out on a flat surface. If they are stuck together, gently separate them.

  5. Place the crescent dog, seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Repeat with the remaining hot dogs and crescent rolls.
  7. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.
