Dive into this Chili Cheese Crescent Hot Dog Bake—a hearty, cheesy, and indulgent dish perfect for game days, potlucks, or family dinners! 🍲🍴

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Bake:
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls (or crescent sheet for seamless layers)
  • 4–6 hot dogs (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 cup prepared chili (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • Optional toppings: diced onions, jalapeños, sour cream, or chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and warm the chili in a small saucepan over medium heat. If using crescent rolls, unroll them and press the perforations together to create a seamless sheet.
  2. Assembling the Layers: Line a greased baking dish with the crescent dough, pressing it gently to cover the bottom and slightly up the sides. Spread half of the shredded cheese evenly over the dough. Layer the hot dog pieces on top, followed by the warmed chili. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the chili for a melty, cheesy finish.
  3. Baking the Dish: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Rotate the dish halfway through baking for even cooking.
  4. Adding Toppings and Serving: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Add optional toppings like diced onions, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flair. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crescent rolls or homemade gluten-free dough.
  • Vegan alternative: Use plant-based hot dogs, dairy-free cheese, and vegan chili.
  • Storage tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
