They’re easy, quick and a fun finger food for young and old alike. It’s so fun for Halloween and kids will totally approve!
Ingredients You Need to Make Mummy Hot Dogs
Have fun making these hot dog crescent rolls! Using only two ingredients, you really can’t go wrong! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements.
- Crescent Roll Dough: For best results use regular crescent rolls. Reduced fat dough is stickier and makes wrapping the hot dogs difficult.

These are the cutest! I wish my kids were still little, they would have loved them.
I have been trying to find a recipe for hot dogs from possibly back in the 1970’s. It consisted of hot dogs cut lengthwise half way thru. Then you made instant mashed potatoes but cut down on the amount of water and added prepared mustard. The cut hot dogs were filled with the mustardy potatoes. I don’t remember the rest but I believe there was bacon wrapped around the whole dog and maybe there was cheese but I am not sure. Have you ever heard of this or would you know where I could look for it. I have tried so many times I am giving up. My adult kids remember this and would like me to make it again for them. I hope you or someone you know can help me. Thanks in advance. And, by the way, I like so many of your recipes.
Hi Pamela! I have not heard of this recipe before. It sounds delicious and something to try but I am not sure what to even call it. I will keep my eye out and see if we can recreate this dinner for you!
