Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 15-18 minutes

Servings: Makes about 3 dozen

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted Butter
  • 2 sweet onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 32 smoked cocktail sausages

Directions

In a small bowl, stir together mustard, next 3 ingredients, ¼ teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Stir in tomato paste and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.

Preheat oven to 375°. Line large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll crescent roll dough, and cut each dough triangle in half lengthwise. Spoon about 1 teaspoon onion mixture onto wide end of each dough piece, and top with a sausage. Starting at wide end, roll up each piece of dough; place on prepared pan.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown; serve with mustard mixture.

Note: The pigs in a blanket can be assembled, covered, and refrigerated overnight before baking as directed. The mustard sauce is a great spread for sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs, too.
