A delicious and easy Chili Cheese Dog Bake combining savory hot dogs wrapped in crescent roll dough, topped with melted cheddar cheese, and baked in a flavorful chili sauce. Perfect for a comforting family meal or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Hot Dogs & Dough

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 can crescent roll dough (usually yields 8 triangles)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Chili

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) chili

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons melted butter (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon minced parsley
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean work surface and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
  3. Assemble Hot Dogs: Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on each crescent roll triangle. Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle and roll the dough around the hot dog toward the tip, sealing it as you go.
  4. Bake Wrapped Hot Dogs: Arrange the rolled hot dogs seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Prepare Chili Base: While the hot dogs are baking, pour the canned chili into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Combine and Bake Again: After the hot dogs have baked, transfer them carefully into the chili-filled baking dish. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  7. Brush with Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic salt, and minced parsley. Brush this mixture generously over the baked crescent rolls to add flavor and a beautiful glaze.
  8. Serve: Serve the Chili Cheese Dog Bake immediately while hot and enjoy this hearty, cheesy comfort dish.

Notes

  • Use your favorite brand of chili; vegetarian chili also works well for a meatless option.
  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the chili before baking.
  • Ensure the crescent roll dough is sealed well around the hot dogs to prevent leaking during baking.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead by assembling and refrigerating before baking; adjust baking times accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
