Pioneer Woman Mummy Hot Dogs Recipe Ingredients

• 8 oz. crescent roll sheet (or 1 can of crescent roll dough)
• 8 hot dogs
• 2 thick slices pepper jack cheese
• Nonstick spray
• Yellow or honey mustard, for serving

How To Make Pioneer Woman Mummy Hot Dogs

1. Prep the oven and dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Unroll the crescent roll sheet onto a lightly floured cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips, about 1/4- to 1/2-inch wide. You will need about 24 strips in total (3 per hot dog).
2. Assemble the mummies: Cut each slice of pepper jack cheese into 4 long, thin rectangles. Place one piece of cheese on one side of a hot dog. Take one strip of dough and begin wrapping it around the hot dog and cheese, starting at one end.
3. Wrap the bandages: Continue wrapping with two more strips of dough, slightly overlapping them to create the “mummy bandage” look. Leave a small gap near one end for the “eyes.” Press the ends of the dough strips to seal them.
4. Bake the mummies: Place the wrapped hot dogs cheese-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick spray. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add eyes and serve: Let the mummy dogs cool for at least 5 minutes. Use the tip of a toothpick or a small squeeze bottle to place two small dots of mustard on each “mummy” for eyes. Serve immediately with extra mustard and ketchup for dipping.

Recipe Tips

• How do I keep the dough from sticking? If the crescent dough becomes sticky and hard to work with, lightly dust your cutting board and your hands with a little bit of flour.
• Can I use a different kind of cheese? Absolutely. If you don’t want the spice from pepper jack, you can use slices of American, cheddar, or provolone cheese cut to the same size.
• How do I get the “bandages” to look messy like a mummy? Don’t worry about wrapping the dough perfectly! Crisscross the strips and wrap them at different angles to create a more authentic, messy mummy look.
• How do I prevent the cheese from oozing out? Placing the mummy dogs cheese-side down on the baking sheet helps keep the melted cheese contained within the dough as it bakes.

What To Serve With Mummy Hot Dogs

These festive hot dogs are a fun main course for a Halloween meal. Serve them with kid-friendly sides like:

• Tater tots or french fries
• A bowl of chili for dipping
• Macaroni and cheese
• Apple slices or a fruit salad

How To Store Mummy Hot Dogs

Store: Mummy hot dogs are best served fresh and warm from the oven. If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat: To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help the dough become crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the dough soggy.
