Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 2 cups canned chili (with or without beans)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Slice the hot dog buns in half lengthwise, if not already done, and place the bottom halves evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
Arrange the hot dogs on top of the bottom halves of the buns.
In a small bowl, mix the yellow mustard and ketchup. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the hot dogs.
Spread the canned chili evenly over the hot dogs, covering them completely.
Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili layer, reserving 1/2 cup for later.
Place the top halves of the hot dog buns over the cheese layer to recreate the structure of a chili cheese dog.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the buns.
Add the chopped onion evenly over the casserole for added flavor and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tops of the buns are slightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and enjoy your Chili Cheese Dog Casserole with optional extra toppings like sour cream, jalapeños, or diced tomatoes!
