When I bake my pigs in the blanket, I always put a few slices of bacon on top while it is cooking. Also try putting the sauce on before you bake, and bake it together.

Hi uppolack, my parents called cabbage rolls "pigs in the blanket" every time I said that people would ask what those are. So, you relate.I am making them today. For my sauce: I sautéed 1 1/2" cuts of one pound of bacon with onion, garlic, celery, oregano and small amount of sugar and vinegar then add large bottle of ketchup and 2 lg. cans of puree or tomato sauce & water to preference. for the stuffing cooked rice and sautéed good hamburger meat with finely chopped onion & celery and garlic salt & pepper and an egg a little breadcrumbs to cooked filling.
