Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 hot dogs
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Arrange the hot dogs in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
Spoon the chili mixture evenly over the top of the hot dogs.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili layer.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it over the casserole, stretching it as needed to cover the top. Pinch seams together if necessary.
Brush the melted butter over the crescent roll dough. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and serve warm.
