Then roll out your dough and lay your foot long hot dogs evenly on dough.
Slice in between each hot dog skewer.
Then roll up your hot dogs in the dough and pinch the seams closed.
Lay on your baking sheet and cook for 15 min at 375 degrees or until golden brown.

Cheesy Garlic Parmesan Chicken on a Stick!
Ingredients:
- Tyson® Any’tyzers® Boneless Chicken WYNZ in Zesty Garlic Parmesan
- Wright® Brand Bacon®
- Cheese ~ any kind
- Green onion
Directions:
Cut skewers in half and slide Tyson Boneless Chicken WYNZ Zesty Garlic Parmesan Any’tizers onto them. Just three at a time is perfect. Bake for 10 ~ 15 min at 400 degrees
Then top with Wright Brand Bacon (crumbled) along with green onions, cheese and anything else you might like!
Did you know that you can cook bacon in the microwave? It’s super easy and the perfect quick snack hack for adding a little something special on appetizers.
Lay bacon on a few paper towels on a plate, then cover with a few paper towels. I cooked these 5 pieces of bacon for 5 minutes and they turned out perfect with no mess! Simply throw away the paper plate with the absorbed grease and BOOM it’s done! Then crumble in a blender if you have one….so easy!
These two appetizers on a stick took me about a half hour to make and that includes cooking time!
One of the things that helps me save my sanity and save time when I have company coming over for Tabletop Tailgate gatherings is to make things ahead of time. I for one like to relax with my company and have fun too, so making these ahead of time would be SO SIMPLE!
Do all of the steps above except the cooking part. Make ahead, refrigerate and when company arrives pop these 2 appetizers in the oven! That’s it!!
Enjoy your company and some down time during game day, you deserve it!
I bought all of the yummy ingredients for these two game winning appetizer recipes at my local Kroger store:
- · Ball Park Hot Dogs (Refrigerated Section)
- · Tyson Any’tizers (Frozen section)
- · Wright Brand Bacon (Refrigerated Section)
Don’t get overwhelmed by company, plan ahead just a little and you can relax and enjoy your own company and food too!
Let me know the most difficult part for you, when it comes to Homegating! #fanfoodleague
