ingredients:

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll Prep: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Using a pizza cutter, cut each triangle in half lengthwise and then again horizontally. This should give you 4 pieces from each triangle, totaling 32 pieces. Set these aside.
Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Incorporate the crumbled bacon, green chilies, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well-combined.
Assembly: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each crescent roll piece. Place a Lit’l Smokie on the widest end of the piece and roll it up.
Baking: Place the assembled pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the seam side is facing down. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they’re a beautiful golden brown color.
Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!

Perfect for gatherings or parties.
If you prefer a spicier kick, you can substitute fresh jalapenos for the canned green chilies.
These can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Simply wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate, then bake when ready.

A delightful blend of spiciness from the jalapeno and creaminess from the cheese, this appetizer is bound to be the star of any gathering. Enjoy!
