Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 14 oz canned chili
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 cheese sticks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare an 11×7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Spread 14 oz of chili evenly across the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and slice it into four equal strips.
- Cut each 4-inch cheese stick precisely in half lengthwise.
- Position one hot dog in the center of each dough strip, placing a cheese stick half on each side.
- Carefully wrap the dough around the hot dog and cheese, ensuring the edges slightly overlap in the center.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs neatly on top of the chili in the baking dish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dough transforms into a golden-brown color.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 20-30 seconds.
- Blend ½ teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon parsley into the melted butter.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and brush the garlicky butter mixture generously over the hot dog rolls.
Notes
- Use high-quality hot dogs for the best flavor and texture in your Chili Cheese Dog Bake.
- If pizza dough seems tricky, refrigerated crescent roll dough works as an excellent substitute.
- For a lighter version, swap regular hot dogs for turkey or chicken dogs and use lean chili.
- When wrapping hot dogs, pinch dough edges firmly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
