Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls & Hot Dogs
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 hot dogs
Filling & Seasoning
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Other
- Cooking spray or oil, for greasing baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your crescent rolls are assembled.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, then lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles. Optionally, flatten each triangle slightly with a rolling pin to give more room for filling.
- Assemble the Dogs: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili on top of each hot dog, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder over the filling for extra flavor.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough around each hot dog and filling, sealing the edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns a golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the chili dog delights to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning and to let the cheese set slightly.
Notes
- You can use homemade chili or your favorite canned chili for convenience.
- Adding garlic powder and onion powder to the chili filling boosts the overall flavor, but you can adjust these seasonings to taste.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the rolled dough well to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
- Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces for extra taste.
- These can be made ahead of time and baked just before serving, or baked and reheated in the oven for a quick snack later.
