Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese cubes
- 6 Turkey or beef sausage links
- 1 package Pillsbury crescent roll dough
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 24 Toothpicks or small skewers
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the sausage links into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch long.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into small strips, about 1-inch wide by 3-inches long.
Wrap each sausage piece with a strip of crescent roll dough, ensuring the ends are sealed. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and set aside.
In a separate bowl, toss the mini pretzels with olive oil to lightly coat them. Place them on the same baking sheet as the wrapped sausages, ensuring they don’t touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the pretzels are crisp.
While the appetizers are baking, thread the cheddar cheese cubes onto toothpicks or skewers to create individual cheese bites.
Prepare the dipping sauces by pouring the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce into two small bowls or ramekins.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the appetizers cool slightly before plating.
Arrange the crescent-wrapped sausages, pretzels, and cheese bites on a large serving platter with the dipping sauces in the center.
Serve warm and enjoy!
