Preparation: open the crescent rolls and seperate so you have multiple pieces, add 1 slice of cheese and 1 hot dog, then roll it up and place on cookie sheet. Repeat for all the crescent rolls. Put in the oven follow directions on the crescent roll package. cook some beans on the stove. Once everything is ready top off the pigs in the blanket with beans

Chicken Enchiladas:
Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts, 1 can 15oz. green chili sauce, 1 cup shredded chz, 1 cup sour cream, and taco size corn tortillas.
