Introduction

This Keto Chili Dog Casserole is a delicious, low-carb twist on classic chili dogs, combining savory ground beef chili with wrapped hot dogs and melted cheddar cheese. It’s an easy, comforting meal perfect for weeknights or casual gatherings.

The dish shows two hot dogs wrapped in soft, yellowed pasta sheets, covered with a thick layer of chunky, brown ground meat sauce with bits of red tomato, topped by a smooth, shiny layer of rich orange melted cheddar cheese that spreads evenly across the top, all resting on a white plate with a simple patterned rim. The edges of the pasta are slightly crispy and curled, and the hot dogs peek out on one side, showing their browned, smooth skin. The background is a white marbled texture.

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup water
8 hot dogs
8 low carb tortillas or wraps
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine the ground chuck, diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Spoon some of the chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Roll each hot dog in a low carb tortilla and place them seam-side down in the sauce.
Step 4: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the wrapped hot dogs and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
Step 6: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite toppings if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use spicy hot dogs or add extra chili powder for a bolder flavor.
Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack to add a little heat.
Serve with sugar-free mustard or sliced jalapeños for added zest.
To keep it dairy-free, try a vegan cheese alternative or omit the cheese altogether.

Storage

Store leftover casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For best texture, cover with foil when reheating in the oven to prevent the cheese from drying out.
