Description
Chili Cheese Dog Casserole combines all those classic flavors in an easy to eat and reheat casserole the family will love. One bite and you’d swear you’re at the ballpark!
Ingredients
- 6 hot dog buns
- 6 beef hot dogs
- 3 cups prepared chili with or without beans (homemade or canned)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for sauteing hot dogs
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cut the hot dog buns into bite-sized pieces and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Melt the butter. Whisk in the garlic salt.
- Pour the garlic butter over the hot dog bun pieces and toss to coat evenly.
- Place the bun pieces in an even layer at the bottom of the baking dish.
- Slice the hot dogs into bite-size pieces. Add the hot dog pieces to a skillet with a little butter over medium heat and sauté until they start to brown on both sides. Remove from heat and stir in the prepared chili.
- Pour the hot dog chili mixture evenly over the bun pieces in the baking dish. It’s okay if some of the bun pieces are sticking up through the chili mixture.
- Sprinkle with the diced white onion and then the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling all over. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve with mustard, relish, sour cream, and jalapenos for topping.
