Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 to 15 oz) of your favorite chili, heated
- 1 refrigerated classic pizza crust (such as Pillsbury™)
- 4 Cheddar cheese sticks
- 4 all-beef hot dogs
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of parsley flakes
Substitutions and Additions:
- Cheese: Feel free to sprinkle grated cheese on top of the baked dish for an extra cheesy delight. Add it after the crescent dogs have browned, then bake until the cheese is melted to perfection.
- Chili: Whether you prefer canned chili or have your own secret recipe, the choice is yours for this hot dog bake.
- Hot Dogs: Use your favorite brand of hot dogs to customize this recipe to your liking.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a 9-inch square or 11×7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the heated chili into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Unroll the pizza crust and cut it into four strips. Slice each cheese stick in half lengthwise, then place one half on each side of a hot dog. Wrap a pizza dough strip around the cheese and hot dog, slightly overlapping in the center. Repeat this process with the remaining dough strips, cheese sticks, and hot dogs.
- Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on top of the hot chili in the baking dish. Ensure that the chili is still hot as it will help cook the dough.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dough turns light golden brown.
- While the dish bakes, melt the butter in a small microwavable cup. Stir in the garlic powder and parsley.
- Once the baking is complete, remove the dish from the oven and brush the butter mixture on top of each cheese dog.
