Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Other
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for golden, flaky crescent rolls.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Optionally, flatten each triangle slightly using a rolling pin to create a larger surface for wrapping.
- Assemble Chili Dogs: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each dough triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, along with garlic powder and onion powder for seasoning.
- Wrap Dough: Carefully roll each triangle around the hot dog starting from the wide end, ensuring the edges are sealed to keep the filling intact during baking.
- Bake: Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chili dog delights to cool slightly after baking to prevent burns, then serve warm for a comforting and satisfying treat.
Notes
- You can use either canned chili or homemade chili depending on your preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of chili powder or smoked paprika to the chili before assembling.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent roll dough well to prevent any chili from leaking out during baking.
- These can be served with mustard or ketchup for extra dipping options.
- To make the recipe spicier, use spicy hot dogs or add diced jalapeños to the chili topping.
