A delightful Chili Cheese Dog Casserole that combines savory hot dogs, a rich chili base, and gooey melted cheese for a hearty dish perfect for family dinners or game day snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 hot dogs, sliced
  • 1 can (15 oz) chili (with or without beans)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and the diced onion. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the hot dogs: Add the sliced hot dogs to the skillet and cook them for about 5-6 minutes until they start to get some nice color.
  3. Prepare the base: Once the hot dogs are browned, pour in the can of chili. Stir well to combine everything and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
  4. Assemble the casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish, lay out the crescent roll dough, pressing it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
  5. Add the chili mixture: Spoon the chili and hot dog mixture evenly over the crescent roll crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses generously on top.
  6. Bake to perfection: Pop the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Cool and garnish: Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle with cilantro or green onions before serving, if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Substitute hot dogs with plant-based options for a vegetarian version.
