Like a campfire version of pigs in blankets, these crescent roll campfire dogs are an easy meal or snack made with hot dogs and refrigerated crescent roll dough. They require just 2 ingredients and are ready in 15 minutes.
Open the tube of crescent roll dough and carefully separate the pieces. You should have 8 triangles.
Working with one hot dog and one piece of dough at a time, starting with the wide end of the triangle, wrap the dough around the hot dog, pressing the edges together to seal. Slide the hot dog onto a roasting stick and repeat with the remaining hot dogs and pieces of dough.
Cook over low flame, about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heat, rotating frequently until the dough is golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve immediately with ketchup and/or mustard for dipping, if desired.
Notes
Mind the gap--Take care to really press the edges of the crescent roll dough together before cooking. Any gaps in the dough may split open as it cooks and cause the dough to fall away from the hot dog.
Avoid hot flame--Use low flame for cooking and keep the roasting stick about 8 inches (20 cm) from the heat to evenly cook the dough. Very hot or high flames will cause the dough to burn before it cooks through.
