Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Mustard and ketchup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare your campfire or portable camp stove, ensuring a medium heat source.
- Open the crescent roll dough package and unroll the dough on a clean cutting surface.
- Cut the crescent roll dough into thin strips approximately 1/2 inch wide, creating long bandage-like strips for wrapping the hot dogs.
- Pat the hot dogs dry with a paper towel to ensure the dough adheres properly.
- Wrap each hot dog loosely with the dough strips, leaving small gaps to create a "mummy bandage" effect. Ensure some of the hot dog remains exposed.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the wrapped hot dogs, pressing gently so the cheese adheres to the dough.
- Place a cast-iron skillet or heavy camping pan on the heat source and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Carefully place the wrapped hot dogs in the skillet, rotating occasionally to ensure even cooking and golden-brown dough.
- Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning periodically until the dough is crispy and golden and the hot dogs are heated through.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with mustard and ketchup on the side for dipping.
Tips
- • Use a cast-iron skillet for even heating and that perfect golden-brown crisp • Pat hot dogs dry before wrapping to help dough adhere better • Cut crescent roll strips consistently for uniform "mummy wrapping" • Don't wrap too tightly – leave some gaps for the classic mummy look • Rotate hot dogs frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking • Let the dogs cool slightly before serving to prevent burning your mouth • Keep extra cheese on hand for more generous sprinkling • Bring fun dipping sauces like mustard and ketchup to enhance the experience
