Cresent Dogs

If you have kids these are a must. However, adults like them too. You can make them plain or you can jazz them up a bit.

NEED:
8 hot dogs
1 package or crescent roll dough
Separate the dough into the eight crescent rolls. Roll one piece of dough around each hot dog and place on lightly greased or sprayed cookie sheet.

Oven at 350 degrees. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until dough is a nice brown.

JAZZED UP:
1.) slice each hot dog length wise, be sure not to cut all the way through. Take a slice of cheese and cut it into narrow strips and place cheese in the hot dog and roll dough around it and bake as above.
2.) with or with out cheese - lightly brush each piece of dough with mustard, wrap hot dog and bake as above.
3.) THIS WORKS BEST WITH LARGE HOT DOGS LIKE HEBREW NATIONAL BRAND*: in a skillet, saute onions in butter. Slit the hot dog, making sure not to slice it all the way through. With or without cheese; remove onions from skillet with slotted spoon to remove most of the butter and place the onions in the slit and wrap with dough and bake as above.
* if using Hebrew National Brand it will take 2 cans of crescent rolls and you will need to take two pieces of the dough and press them together to make a larger piece of dough.

Enjoy!
