BAKED CHILI CHEESE DOG CASSEROLE

 

I’ve always loved chili cheese dogs in the summertime! It’s a classic comfort food that is tasty & delicious! This 4-ingredient baked chili cheese dog casserole is the perfect meal enjoy during the busy weeknight or to bring as a dish to your next bbq gathering! You can double this recipe if you’re feeding a larger crowd, but the recipe below yields 8 servings.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz can Pillsbury crescent dough sheet 
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 
• 1 package (8 hotdogs) Nathan’s Hot dogs (or your favorite kind!)
• 2 (15oz) cans Hormel Chili with beans (or you can use homemade chili if you prefer!)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees 
2. Unroll your crescent dough sheet and separate your triangle pieces of dough 
3. Sprinkle your shredded cheese on all of them and press down gently with the back of a spoon (this helps the cheese stick to the dough & hot dogs while baking)
4. Roll up each hot dog in a piece of dough and set aside 
5. Add in your chili to your 9”x13” baking dish and spread it out evenly 
6. Evenly place your hot dogs on top of your chili and bake for 35-45 min more or less! As soon as your crescent dough really starts to get golden brown about halfway through baking, loosely place a piece of foil on top of your baking dish so the tops of the rolls don’t burn, while the bottom continues to cook!  *Note: baking time may vary from oven to oven*
7. Remove from oven once done baking
8. Serve alongside your other favorites sides such as corn salad, fries, potato/macaroni salad, baked mac n cheese, etc!
