Add the Chili: Pour the chili evenly over the crescent dough. You can use canned chili or homemade chili, depending on your preference. Add any optional ingredients, like onions, at this point.
Layer the Hot Dogs: Place the sliced or whole hot dogs on top of the chili. If you want to add some extra flavor, drizzle some mustard or ketchup over the top of the hot dogs before baking.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the hot dogs and chili.
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish it with extra condiments (like more mustard, ketchup, or even jalapeños) if desired.
Optional Add-Ins:
Sautéed onions or jalapeños for a bit of spice.
Sour cream and chopped cilantro as garnishes.
Tater tots or French fries added to the bake for a fun twist.
This dish is quick, comforting, and great for a weeknight dinner! Enjoy your Chili Cheese Dog Bake!
