Hot dogs in crescent rolls are a comforting reminder of childhood and the simplicities of life. But, since we’re adults now, let’s kick Pigs in a Blanket up with a Polish twist that utilizes kielbasa. You’ll roll smoked kielbasa and roasted sauerkraut in a delicate and buttery puff pastry. Make sure to have your mustard on hand for dipping.
