Pigs in Blankets
Pigs in Blankets have pride of place on our Christmas dinners. Make yours from scratch for the best results, with your favourite sausages wrapped in bacon. It’s so easy!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
- 12 Chipolata sausages
- 120 g Streaky bacon 6 rashers | Smoked or unsmoked
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan/200℃/Gas Mark 6.
- Brush or wipe the base of a baking tray with the oil - the sausages will release some of the fat as they cook but this helps them not to stick initially.
- Using scissors, cut each piece of streaky bacon in half, so you end up with two shorter pieces. Wrap each sausage in a piece of streaky bacon.
- Put the wrapped sausages on the baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until browned and cooked through.

Notes
Sausages: The beauty of making these at home means you can choose your favourite type, either from a farm shop, butcher or supermarket.
Bacon: This is regular bacon in the US. You can use smoked or unsmoked, whatever you prefer.
To make ahead of time: Cook as per step 4 in the recipe below, but only for 20 minutes. Cool and cover them, then store in the fridge. The next day, finish cooking them by baking in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes. (They will take a little longer than the total time above as they have been cold in the fridge.) Ensure that they are golden brown and cooked through before serving.
