Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Hot Dogs

  • 6 pieces all-beef hot dogs room temperature

Chili

  • 2 cups prepared chili warmed slightly

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese freshly shredded for best melt
  • 6 pieces cheddar cheese sticks refrigerated

Dough

  • 1 tube crescent dough (8-count), unrolled and separated into triangles

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a medium baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray or a bit of butter.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles on a clean surface. Keep them covered briefly so they don’t dry out.
  • Place one all-beef hot dog and one cheddar cheese stick at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Position the cheese stick inside the hot dog lengthwise for an oozy center.
  • Roll up each hot dog and cheese stick in the dough triangle, rolling from the wide end to the tip. Press the seams and ends to seal so the cheese doesn’t leak out.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder and parsley flakes until combined.
  • Place the wrapped hot dogs in the greased baking dish, spacing them apart so the dough can rise and crisp evenly.
  • Pour the warmed chili around the hot dogs in the pan, keeping the chili away from the tops of the crescent rolls.
  • Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the seasoned butter for extra color and flavor.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the chili and crescent rolls.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Let the dish rest for 3–5 minutes, then serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, chili-filled bite!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes to return crispiness.
