Chili Cheese Dog Casserole

Easy Chili Cheese Dog Casserole

Ingredients:

1 (15 oz) can of chili (with or without beans)

6–8 hot dogs (your favorite kind), cut into thirds

1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more if you like it extra cheesy)

½ small onion, finely diced (optional, for extra flavor)

1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional, for brushing the top)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Spread the chili:

Spread the chili evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. (If you're using diced onion, mix it into the chili.)

3. Wrap the hot dogs:

Unroll the crescent dough. Cut each triangle in half (so you have smaller pieces). Wrap a piece of dough around each piece of hot dog. Place the wrapped hot dogs on top of the chili.

4. Top with cheese:

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of everything.

5. Bake:

Bake uncovered for about 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

6. (Optional) Brush the tops with a little melted butter when it comes out of the oven for extra flavor.

7. Serve:

Scoop and serve warm! It's great with a little extra mustard or ketchup if you like.

Optional Add-Ons:

Sprinkle with jalapeños before baking for a spicy kick.

Drizzle with a little yellow mustard after baking for that true chili dog flavor.

Serve with pickles or a side salad for a simple meal.
