A hot dog in a croissant? That’s wild, I didn’t realise pigs in blankets were different around the world (presumably you’re not in the UK?). In England, pigs in blankets are little sausages wrapped in bacon!
Precook? The bacon and sausages just need to be thin enough, ie. pancetta sliced and chipolata, respectively. Possibly better roasted so they don’t need to be turned (they may unravel).
Traditionally, short chipolatas are used, sometimes referred to as cocktail sausages, although this can also refer to cold, precooked sausages of the same size.
great bacon requires time and 400+ f temps, and a watchful eye - flipping helps too.
then you can refrigerate it and use it for a week on baked potatoes, pigs in blankets, bacon bits for salad, bacon chunks for soups like potato soup and chowders.
it’s gonna kill me, but goddamn is good bacon worth it.

No, I’m not in the UK.
What you describe is delicious, too, but I’m not aware of a colloquialism that describes it.
What I’m accustomed to by that name is a less fancy looking version of this:
Oh wow, that’s totally not what I was picturing actually! What are the seeds? Is the croissant sweet?
I don’t put seeds on mine, but they seem like sesame seeds. What were you picturing?

I wouldn’t call them sweet, but from what I understand the UK and US have very different definitions of that taste, so you might.
edit: That might actually just be salt. Pretty sure it’s sesame though.
I was picturing, like, a French croissant, a big pastry thing, with a Cumberland sausage inside 😂 I’ve never heard of Pillsbury, looks good tho!
Yeah you’re right, those seeds look like sesame
we used to do pigs wrapped in bacon in a blanket. pretty freaking good but you have to precook the bacon.

Yeah, I’ve tried to do that on my grill without precooking. Never got it to work.
