Crescent Roll Chili Dog Delights Recipe

Introduction

Crescent Roll Chili Dog Delights are a fun and tasty twist on the classic chili dog. Wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and filled with chili and melted cheese, they make a perfect snack or meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
• 4 hot dogs
• 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Cooking spray or oil

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
3. Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If you like, flatten each triangle slightly with a rolling pin for easier rolling.
4. Step 4: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili on top of the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Step 5: Roll each triangle around the hot dog carefully, starting from the wide end and sealing the edges well to prevent filling from leaking.
6. Step 6: Arrange the rolled dogs on the prepared baking sheet, then bake for about 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
7. Step 7: Let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty, savory goodness safely.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of your favorite seasoning or smoked paprika on top before baking.
• Try using different types of cheese like pepper jack or mozzarella for a variation in taste.
• Make it vegetarian by substituting hot dogs with plant-based sausages and using vegetarian chili.

Storage

Store any leftover chili dog delights in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes to keep the crust crispy, or microwave briefly if short on time.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I freeze Crescent Roll Chili Dog Delights?

Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Wrap each rolled hot dog tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. When ready, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What kind of chili works best?

Both canned chili or homemade chili work well. Choose one with a thicker consistency to prevent sogginess inside the crescent roll dough.

Primary Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
• 4 hot dogs
• 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Cooking spray or oil, as needed

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the chili dogs.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Optionally, use a rolling pin to slightly flatten each triangle to make rolling easier.
4. Assemble Chili Dogs: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Roll and Seal: Roll each triangle around the hot dog starting from the wide end, making sure to seal the edges well to keep the chili and cheese inside during baking.
6. Bake: Place the assembled chili dogs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to prevent burning.

Notes

• You can use homemade chili for a fresher taste or canned chili for convenience.
• Feel free to add spices like paprika or cayenne to your chili for extra heat.
• For a crispier roll, bake a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces for added flavor.
• These can be made ahead and reheated, but are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
