Your standard pigs-in-a-blanket are mighty good, but I felt that they needed a little ‘help’. So along came this great southwestern pigs in a blanket variation that gets devoured even faster! Get your big platter out, you’re going to need it! These lovely morsels kick up the classic by adding bell peppers and a nice spicy cheese. There’s nothing boring about them!

Go Dipping!

I served these southwestern pigs in a blanket with an easy-to-make Southwestern sauce. You could use good old Ranch dressing instead. A good, thick spicy BBQ sauce would also make for a great dipping sauce. Heck, set out a few different sauces and get ready to watch these yummy bites disappear in no time! Who wouldn’t enjoy a pigs in a blanket bar?
