Tips for adapting this Chili Cheese Dog Bake recipe for your family
- The hot dogs I purchased came six to a package, but there are 8 crescent rolls in a tube. Feel free to make 8 hot dogs if that’s what you have on hand and you want to use up all the crescent rolls!
- I used canned chili as a timesaver, but this recipe would be a great way to make use of leftover homemade chili as well. I used chili with beans, but beanless chili can also be purchased in cans, and that goes great with hot dogs too!
- This dish is easy to make mild or spicy, depending on your preferences. If you like a little heat, you can easily mix in a little hot sauce with your chili before baking.

These turned out awesome! I mean, what’s not to love about chili and hot dogs!? Combine that with flaky crescent dough and it’s super tasty. It’s like having all the flavors of a chili cheese dog from the ballpark or boardwalk in one decadent dish.
All it took was a few simple ingredients, and after 30 minutes in the oven, I was serving up a meal the whole family loved. Even the kids were asking for more! I can definitely see making this for game day entertaining as well. It would be easy and fun to make a couple of pans of these for a party. Enjoy!

Looks so good, I knew it had to be a Lina recipe! Thank you!
Aw thanks and I think you’ll enjoy this!
I saw a pigs in the blanket keto recipe that looked good!
I tried this once and the bottom of the dough didn’t cook it was so doughy and gross
Yeah, I would probably par-cook the dogs in crescent rolls first
Love this! Gave me the idea it would be a great “welcome neighbor” dish to take to a young family moving in. Add a tossed salad and dinner is done!
Yes! Great idea 👍
Looks good!
Thanks Amy!
Looks good! That type of chili would never fly where I live, though. Our region is famous for our “hot dog chili,” which is totally different than soup chili.
(I’m not pointing that out to be rude– I just want to know if any other area other than Western PA uses “hot dog chili,” a meaty spicy sauce with no beans!)
I don’t think this is common at all in Texas, but somehow I grew up in a household that only uses hot dog sauce as chili on hot dogs. I can’t even imagine using anything else…I know I wouldn’t care for it. I do, however, love some homemade chili in a Frito pie! 😀
I am in Ga and when I make it I will use hot dog chili with no beans.
we’re in CA and we only use hot dog chili without the beans.
In TX, that’s just how they make chili…it’s only meat, no beans. People in other regions do add beans to theirs, but you really wouldn’t put that kind on a hot dog. I’ve never heard the two kinds called “hot dog chili” or “soup chili” before lol
I am in Kansas and the idea of using soup chili is weird.
I was born and raised in Erie, PA and only used “Greek Chili” on dogs.
I’ve now lived in New Mexico for a few decades and would only use out hone grown green chilE! 🌶🌶
I grew up in southeast Texas and this does not hold true around here. Beans, tomatoes and celery are very common chili ingredients where I live. It’s interesting to see how different things are I. different reasons.
Different people make chili in different ways, but generally in TX many people frown upon the use of beans. Chili = chili con carne, after all.
Made this and it was good, except the crescent rolls were doughy on the bottom even after cooking the leftovers 30 more minutes. Next time I will cook the crescent roll dogs, microwave the chili, then microwave it all together.
Looks very good.
Thanks so much!
How do you get the bottoms of the biscuits to cook? They’re all mushy and raw still.
Did this today and it was soooo good. I added cream cheese in my chili if you like that. So yummy! Thanks
Oh wow yay! That sounds fantastic. Thank you for sharing!
