Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 32 ounces canned chili (with or without beans)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Slice the hot dog buns in half horizontally, leaving them connected at the hinge if possible. Line the bottom of the baking dish with the halved buns.
Place one hot dog inside each bun, arranging them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir together the canned chili and yellow mustard until well combined. Spread the chili mixture evenly over the hot dogs.
Sprinkle the diced onions evenly over the chili layer.
In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses together, then spread them evenly over the casserole.
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder, then drizzle this mixture over the cheese layer.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley (if desired). Serve warm and enjoy!
