These pull apart pigs in a blanket are super easy to make. You need pizza dough, either homemade or store bought, sun dried tomato spread, and two packages of lil' smokies sausages. Roll out the pizza dough and slice it into rectangles, then spread a small amount of sun dried tomato spread on the piece of dough. Wrap the lil' smokie in each dough strip and pinch it closed.
Place the sausage roll ups into a springform pan, working from the outside of the cake pan into the middle. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover the pan and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve the pigs in a blanket pull-apart bread with your favorite dipping sauce (or sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the top before baking) and enjoy the high fives from party guests!
