Storgage tips:

  • Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in your fridge or cooler.
  • You can also make a larger batch at home to have on hand for a perfect finger food snack. Allow the cooked crescent roll hot dogs to come to room temperature.
  • Then wrap them individually with either foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

These easy crescent roll hot dogs are delicious all on their own, but if you are looking to add a little extra flavour boost, try these options.

What to serve these dogs with:

  • Add a slice of cheddar or American cheese on the side.
  • You could also wrap the cheese slice around the hot dog before adding dough triangles.

Alternate ways to cook crescent dogs:

  • Instead of the campfire, prepare the hot dog roll-ups and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in a preheated oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees f.
  • An air fryer can also be used for cooking.
  • Use breakfast sausage in place of hot dogs, with a side of syrup for dipping, for a morning treat.
  • Cut hot dogs and crescent triangles into smaller portions before preparing for the perfect appetizer on game day.
  • Try a chili cheese dog bake for an easy dinner on busy weeknights.
  • You can warm up leftovers the next day in the toaster oven.
  • For a Halloween treat, separate dough and cut it into strips before wrapping them around your hot dogs to make mummy dogs.

Suggestions for dips and toppings:

  • Ketchup
  • Yellow mustard
  • White sauce
  • Our homemade barbecue sauce
  • Create a dipping sauce by combining ketchup and mustard together before serving.
  • Brush the cooked roll ups with garlic butter.
  • Before baking, sprinkle the dough with garlic powder or poppy seeds.

Tips for camping meal preparation:

  • Prepare meals in advance at home whenever possible.  Leave most of the mess at home where running water is more accessible and clean up is easier.  Trust me on this one!
  • Create “one pot” family style meals for quick dinners that don’t require a lot of thought. 
  • Use tinfoil packets, foil pie pans or camp cookers. These tools help to make clean up a breeze!
  • Pack ingredients in 1 gallon size freezer bags for flexible storage in small fridges and coolers.
  • Plan meals that use similar ingredients to help make packing and planning easy.  These Cheesy Vegetable Campfire Dip, Loaded Campfire Potatoes and Tinfoil Packet Nacho Dip recipes are some of our favorites.
  • Use my blank printable meal plan or camping meal plans to help organize your next trip.
