Warming Pig In Blanket Casserole

Our chef has come up with an alternative way of using our pigs in blankets.

You could also try our pigs in blankets:

  • on a hotdog roll with touch of cranberry sauce, mustard or ketchup as a change to  a hotdog—ideal as a quick lunch
  • In a hotpot—use them in gravy topped with saute potatoes as a seasonal change to a sausage hotpot!
  • as a hot party canape—serve with a honey mustard dip
  • as a seasonal substitute for the traditional or all day breakfast
  • as an accompaniment to roasted pheasant or partridge
