They just aren’t for Super bowl, game day or special occasions. They’re for every occasion that is a fun gathering and everyone wants to have a good time eating appetizers and beer! Or soda pop!
Ok, so it’s super simple to make this chili cheese dog bake. It starts with some simple crescent roll dough. Choose your favorite cheese (we love cheddar and American cheese!). Roll the crescent dough that’s stuffed with a hot dog and a bunch of cheese. Add some of your favorite chili and lots of warm oven love. After about 45 minutes, voila! You can a wonderful warm meal for all chili cheese hot dog lovers!
INGREDIENTS
8 (8 ) hot dogs
8 slices (8 slices) American cheese or 3/4 cup shredded cheese
1 can (1 can) refrigerated crescent dough sheet
1-2 cans (1-2 cans) (15.5 oz ea) chili , depending on how much chili you like
3 tablespoons (45 g) Butter (approximately), melted
1-2 cloves (1-2 cloves) garlic , minced
fresh parsley for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse hot dogs and pat dry.
Open the can of crescent dough and roll out dough. Cut the dough into 8 equal squares.
Roll 1 slice of cheese around 1 hot dog. Roll 1 square of crescent dough around the cheese/hot dog. Repeat for all 8 hot dogs. Gently press the seams of the crescent dough down.
Melt butter and then add minced garlic. Place hot dogs in pan, spaced apart to leave room for chili later. Brush top of dough with the garlic butter. Save remaining garlic butter.
Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove foil, add chili around the base of the hot dogs and continue baking un-covered for about 10 minutes OR until tops of dough are golden brown and chili is heated through.
Optional- For extra garlic butter goodness, brush remaining garlic butter on top of dough and top with parsley. Enjoy!
