Imagination Pie
Ingredients:
1 can crescent rolls
4 jumbo hot dogs
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup half and half
1 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon chicken bullion
4 large eggs
2 slices American Cheese, chopped
1/4 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Remove the crescent rolls from the tube and line a pie dish with them, making sure to press them up the sides of the dish to the top edge. Heat butter in a saute pan while slicing hot dogs (circles). Add hot dog circles to melted butter and saute. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs and add remaining ingredients, except onions. Add sauteed hot dogs to mixture and pour into crescent lined pie dish. Sprinkle onion slices on top. Bake 45 minutes or until pie is set. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Notes From Paula’s Test Kitchen: What a great imagination from Paula’s 4 year old fan, Braydon. These are the ingredients he pulled from the refrigerator and asked to cook and this fun pie is what was created. It took about 10 minutes longer for the pie to set enough to slice well. Kids will love this recipe!

Great recipe and so easy! I used plain greek yogurt since I didn't have plain yogurt and the recipe was great! This is a keeper, thanks Paula!

Crescent rolls in a tube contain trans fats! Try another brand besides Pillsbury and check the label.

I just love your receipes. They are quick, easy and fun to make. Your receipes are not real expensive to make either. when we run out of food stamps and we are broke, we can always find one of your receipes that we can make to hold us over until the first of the month. Thank you from me and all my family. <3<3

Paula everything in this recipe sounds good except for the onion I am allergic to them big time can something else be substituted in it's place.

For the Imagination Pie, do you remove hot dogs with slotted spoon or okay to add the hot dogs AND butter they were sauteed in?

Dear Cindy,
I have learned something new. It has been quite a while since I have been to a baby shower, and I am now prepared and up-to-date. I love the term "sprinkles" and it is nice to know that men are also invited to partake in the excitement! Thank you for a fun article!

Susan Lott is a great party planner! She has tons of great ideas that she needs to share with the online world. I have been begging her to start a Facebook page or Etsy account. The graduation gift that she made me was hand drawn with my name and different definitions for each letter. She framed it and I cherish it.....I also would have paid about $50 for it in a store. Thanks for sharing her idea but this idea is nothing compared to some of her other quick and money saving tips! You should hire her for your creative team!
Love you Susu!
