American cheese is a good choice for easy melting, but other varieties of deli-sliced cheeses, like Havarti, smoked Gouda, Provolone, and pepper Jack work well, too.
Refrigerated doughs are easier to work with when chilled, so keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to fill the hot dogs with cheese.
Let the kids build their own crescent dogs for dinner! Set out all the fixings, include different cheeses for picky eaters, and let everyone make their own rolled-up creations.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces—barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, and mustard are all tasty options.
