Chili Cheese Dog Bake Dinner is the ultimate comfort food that combines all the flavors you love into a single, easy-to-make dish.
This hearty and satisfying meal starts with juicy, flavorful hot dogs nestled between soft, pillowy layers of crescent roll dough,
creating a buttery and flaky crust that wraps around each bite. The dish is then generously topped with savory chili, packed with rich spices and tender beans, adding a layer of robust flavor that perfectly complements the smoky taste of the hot dogs.
To take it to the next level, a generous amount of melted cheddar cheese is sprinkled across the top, creating a gooey, golden finish that ties the dish together.
Ingredients
- 4 Hot Dogs
- 4 String Cheese (Cheddar)
- 1 can Pillsbury Pizza Dough
- 1 can Chili (15 oz.)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Pour chili into a 6 X 10 or 7 X 11 pan
Remove the cheese from the wrappers & cut in half lengthwise. Set aside.
Open the can of pizza dough & roll out. Cut the dough into 4 equal sections.
Take a hot dog & sandwich it with the two sides of cheddar. Beginning at one end of the strip of dough, begin to wrap the bundle into the dough, covering the whole length of the hot dog with the dough.
Place in the pan with the chili, seam side down.
When all four are complete, bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is cooked & golden brown on top.
Mix the garlic & parsley with the melted butter & brush the tops of the hot dogs with the garlic butter. Enjoy!
Note* To avoid a doughy bottom ~ just place the dogs in first then pour the chili around them.
