Discovered this recipe just in time for the Super Bowl. It’s so good. Will be making this for other future events as well.
My kids are obsessed with these chili cheese dogs. It’s the best.
very easy recipe even kids can do the rolling the dough around the hot dogs and ma would need to do the oven job.
Thanks for sharing Bert. Love that the kids are part of cooking the recipe!
I use crescent roll dough, cut the hot dogs in half, or use little smokies with the crescent roll dough sections cut in half.
LOVE little smokies! Thanks for sharing Thomas.
If you half the recipe, do you half the time?
Hi Keyana! You will still need to cook it for more than half the time. Try about 3/4 of the time first, check it and see if it’s cooked to your liking. If not, then cook it for a few more minutes until it’s cooked to your liking.
Making for dinner today. Didn’t have the unperforated crescent rolls. Made them anyway and they turned out great. Just fyi…
Smells yummy. Thanks
In the video it shows putting the hotdog crescent rolls on top of the chili before putting in oven, directions say different
Hi Karen, The old facebook video shows the older technique. The most recent and better technique is the one that is currently in the video on this page and what is in the recipe box. It shows baking the crescent dogs first and then the chili is added on top later. Enjoy!
Love this hot dog recipe, made it last night but only had regular crescent rolls just pinched the dough. baked it and added the tomatoes and parsley. We had a side of fruit and enjoyed a great dinner. Thank you for sharing
; D
can you use chili hot dog sauce instead of chili.
yes you can use chili hot dog sauce.
I wanna try to make these for my carry-in at work this Friday; is there anything I can use to put them in/or on that’ll keep them warm for a couple additional hours after cooking them? Or would putting them in a crock pot on the “warm” setting work and not ruin them?
Do you have a recipe for homemade crescent roll dough?
I am anxious to try these. I am think about adding shredded cheese to top instead of the sliced cheese and then when cooked add relish. Can’t wait. Thanks for sharing.
Shredded cheese and relish sounds wonderful Henry!
Made them last night, instead of a slice of cheese topped the dough with shredded cheddar and onions then wrapped and baked. Came out great thanks
That’s awesome Daniel that you added some onions! YUM!
This looks good I am going to have to try it it looks easy to make plus it doesn’t take long to fix and makes for a fast way to make Lunch or dinner Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I would like to try this with low fat hot dogs, cheese, and go sparingly on butter and then make it with the good stuff and see if there’s much of a difference.
I made this for my family and it was good.
