Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 1 can chili (15 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Dough

  • 1 can crescent roll dough

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the dish evenly and ensuring a golden crust on the crescent dough.
  2. Prepare Dough Base: Roll out the crescent roll dough and carefully place it into a greased baking dish, spreading it out to create an even base layer.
  3. Arrange Hot Dogs: Slice the hot dogs in half lengthwise or into halves as preferred, then evenly distribute them over the crescent dough in the baking dish.
  4. Add Chili Layer: Pour the canned chili over the hot dogs, making sure to cover them well to infuse flavor throughout the bake.
  5. Top with Cheese and Vegetables: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili, then add diced onions and optional sliced jalapenos to add tanginess and a bit of heat.
  6. Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set and to avoid burns.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your heat preference or omit them for a milder taste.
  • Use your favorite type of chili, whether vegetarian or meat-based, to customize the flavor.
  • For a crispier crust, bake on the lower oven rack.
  • This dish is best enjoyed warm but can be reheated covered in the oven or microwave.
  • Adding a dollop of sour cream or mustard after baking enhances flavor.
