The reason why our chili cheese hot dog bake is so popular is because it can serve many people at once. It’s so quick and easy to roll a bunch of cheese and hot dogs in crescent rolls and bake them. In fact, during our taste test, we did two batches at once and it literally took just a few minutes. The problem was we had two huge platters that needed to be eaten!
The key is to bake the rolls covered in foil first, then continue baking them without the foil. This ensures that the dough cooks all the way through, leaving you with warm tender crescent dough filled with the best chili cheese dogs on Earth! They’re the perfect appetizer or full meal!

I don’t remember ever seeing a tube of crescent dough that wasn’t perforated. Where do you buy a tube that is just one big piece of dough that you can cut up like that?
We’ll find them next to the tubes of crescent dough. They’ll be labeled as crescent dough sheets. Not all stores have them, but most around us do. They tend to blend in next to the regular tubes of dough. Here’s a link to Pilsbury’s sheets.
Pillsbury makes just sheets too they are in the same section you get the Crescent role kind .
I found it today at Kroger’s..
You can still use the perforated type of dough for this, just pinch the seams together beforehand. Or you could really go the extra mile and use puff pastry sheets. You could even use rolled out biscuit dough if you wanted to. Hope this helps.
I’m gonna use Cincinnati Chile and cheddar cheese sounds good and I can reheat
I made them with regular perforated dough – not a problem. Didn’t even know they made the other kind and I had been thinking about using the refrigerated pizza dough.
Can you prepare the meal ahead of time so you can just slip it in the oven or will there be problems with the dough?
Hi Jake- you can bake the hot dogs in the crescent dough first, without the chili. Then when you’re ready to serve, add the chili and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until everything is warm.
Like the ease hot dogs . I Will be trying it for dinner.
It’s in the oven right now. Smells great! Can’t wait to try them!
