Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove the hot dogs from their package and pat them dry with a few paper towels.
  • Wrap each hot dog with a crescent roll triangle.

  • Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup or mustard!

Notes

  • Looking for healthy side dish ideas? Try a few raw veggies such as carrot sticks, sliced cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes. You can also never go wrong with a fresh fruit salad, apple slices, cheesy steamed broccoli, corn, tater tots, or anything else your kids will actually eat.
