Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Wrapping
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
Filling
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Additional
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the crescent roll chili dogs.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it using cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If desired, use a rolling pin to flatten each triangle slightly, making them easier to wrap around the hot dogs.
- Assemble the Chili Dogs: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder evenly over the filling for enhanced flavor.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, wrapping the dough tightly around the hot dog and filling. Press the edges to seal well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped chili dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chili dog delights cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the flavors to settle.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding jalapeños to the chili or using spicy cheddar cheese.
- You can make your own chili or use canned chili—choose your preferred brand and heat it before assembling.
- Ensure edges of dough are well sealed to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- These are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Variations include adding diced onions or mustard before rolling the dough around the hot dogs.
