Chili Cheese Dog Casserole

🌶️ Chili Cheese Dog Casserole

🕰️ Serves 6–8 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 30 min

Ingredients:

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

8 beef hot dogs

8 slices American or cheddar cheese

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)

Optional garnish: chopped green onions, jalapeños, sour cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the base:

Spread the canned chili evenly across the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

3. Wrap the dogs:

Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.

Place a slice of cheese on each triangle, then place a hot dog on top. Roll up the hot dog in the dough, wrapping it like a crescent roll.

4. Assemble the casserole:

Place the wrapped hot dogs on top of the chili in the baking dish, seam-side down.

5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

6. Add cheese topping:

Sprinkle shredded cheddar on top and return to the oven for 5 more minutes until melted.

7. Garnish & serve:

Top with green onions, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve hot!

💡 Tips:

Use spicy chili or add hot sauce for extra heat.

Try with turkey dogs or veggie dogs for a lighter option.
