I make this extremely decadent supper about twice a year when the Southern husband looks at me with those big brown “please make me chili dog casserole” eyes.
And I would do anything for that man, so I always give in and put it on the menu in all its cheesy, naughty goodness. So because you only live once….here’s the chili dog casserole scoop!
Ingredients You’ll Need For Chili Dog Casserole!
Yep, that’s it! And if you think the ingredient list was easy, wait until you see the super simple directions!
Here’s How To Make Chili Dog Casserole!
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 425.
STEP 2: Spread 1 cup of chili in the bottom of a casserole dish.
STEP 3: Roll up 6 hot dogs in each in their own tortilla (the 6 inch size works great for this) and place seam side down on the chili.
STEP 4: Pour the remaining chili over the row of hot dogs.
STEP 5: Scatter a cup of shredded cheddar cheese over all.
STEP 6: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
STEP 7: Serve immediately, and then eat nothing but salad for the next week.
More Tips For Making Chili Dog Casserole!
You can, but they will add a chewier, more rustic texture to the casserole. Which might be just fine with you!
We use the Hormel no-bean kind, but any type is just fine (and of course, homemade is the best of all if you are looking for a way to use up leftover chili!)
This recipe is best when it is put together right before you bake it up, so the tortillas don’t get too soggy. But it only takes 15 minutes to throw it together!
So as long as you promise…promise!…not to make this more than every six months or so, and to get on the treadmill right after, here is my kind of naughty but very nice chili dog casserole recipe for you!
