Ingredients
Scale
Chili Sauce
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup water
Casserole Assembly
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 low carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Chili Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked ground chuck, diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens as flavors meld.
- Prepare the Base: Spoon a layer of the prepared chili sauce into the bottom of the greased casserole dish to create a flavorful base for the hot dogs.
- Assemble Hot Dogs: Roll each hot dog in a low carb tortilla, sealing the seam, then place them seam-side down atop the chili sauce in the casserole dish in a single layer.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the rolled hot dogs, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the casserole is set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as diced onions, jalapeños, or sour cream if desired.
Notes
- You can use beef, chicken, or turkey hot dogs depending on your preference and dietary needs.
- Adjust the chili powder and cumin to your taste for spicier or milder chili.
- Low carb tortillas help maintain the ketogenic profile; avoid regular flour tortillas if strictly keto.
- For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers to the chili sauce during cooking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
