Chili Cheese Dog Bake

Flavorful Craving

Hot dogs, melty cheddar, and saucy chili all wrapped in golden pizza dough. It’s the ultimate comfort food mashup — easy, cheesy, and seriously delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 refrigerated pizza crust
  • 4 bun-length hot dogs
  • 4 cheddar cheese sticks (or cheese slices)
  • 1 can hot dog chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat the Chili:
    Warm the chili sauce in the microwave until hot. Spread it evenly in the bottom of a 9×9 baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Dough:
    Roll out the pizza dough flat on your counter. Cut into 4 equal rectangles.
  4. Wrap the Dogs:
    Place 1 hot dog and 1 cheese stick in the center of each rectangle. Fold the ends over, then roll the dough around the hot dog and cheese to seal.
  5. Assemble & Bake:
    Place each wrapped hot dog seam-side down over the chili in the baking dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the dough is golden brown.
  6. Finish:
    Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder and fresh parsley.
  7. Serve:
    Scoop out with plenty of chili and melty cheese. Enjoy warm!
