Ingredients:
6-8 hot dogs (beef, chicken, or vegetarian)
1 can (15 oz) chili (with or without beans)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
1 tablespoon ketchup (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Jalapeños or pickled onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch casserole dish or a similar-sized baking pan.
Prepare the Hot Dogs:
Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces. You can either cut them into rounds or chop them into small chunks, depending on your preference.
Cook the Hot Dogs (Optional):
If you prefer a crispy texture, heat a little oil in a pan and sauté the sliced hot dogs until they get a golden-brown exterior. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Assemble the Casserole:
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the casserole dish, creating an even layer. This will serve as the base for your casserole.
