Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dog buns
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 2 cups canned chili
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Stir in the garlic powder and set aside.
Split the hot dog buns in half and lightly brush the inside of each bun with the melted garlic butter.
Wrap each hot dog in a buttered bun and arrange them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the canned chili evenly over the hot dogs, making sure they are well covered.
Drizzle the yellow mustard over the chili in a zigzag pattern for an extra punch of flavor.
Sprinkle the chopped onion evenly on top of the chili layer.
Generously cover the entire casserole with shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a simple side salad, coleslaw, or crispy fries for a complete meal.
