These Kid-Approved Mummy Hot Dogs with Cheese Wrap are a lifesaver for busy families. Quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients, they are perfect for Halloween parties, school snacks, or fun weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 beef or turkey hot dogs
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Mustard for eyes
  • Ketchup or ranch dressing for dipping (optional)
  • Pretzel sticks or carrot sticks on the side (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat each hot dog dry with a paper towel.
  3. Cut each slice of cheddar cheese in half lengthwise to make 8 thin strips.
  4. Wrap one strip of cheese around the center of each hot dog. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  5. Open the can of crescent roll dough. If using perforated triangles, press seams together to form a rectangle. Unroll onto a cutting board.
  6. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide.
  7. Take a strip of dough and wrap it diagonally around a cheese-covered hot dog, leaving a small gap for the eyes. Use 2-3 strips per mummy. Press ends to seal.
  8. Place each wrapped mummy seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
  11. Using a toothpick or squeeze bottle, dot two small eyes on the exposed end of each hot dog with yellow mustard.
  12. Serve warm with dipping sauces.

Notes

Keep the dough cold for easier handling. Don’t skip the cheese wrap—it prevents soggy dough and adds gooey texture. Add mustard eyes after baking for best color. Can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Freeze unbaked mummies for up to 2 months.
