- Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If desired, flatten each triangle slightly using a rolling pin for easier rolling.
- Step 4: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Step 5: Roll each triangle around the hot dog starting from the wide end, making sure to seal the edges tightly to keep the chili and cheese inside.

Tips & Variations

- Use mini hot dogs and smaller crescent rolls to make bite-sized appetizers.
- Try homemade chili with beans and ground beef for a hearty option.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5–7 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving to keep the crescent roll flaky.

FAQs
Can I use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of crescent rolls?
Yes, refrigerated biscuit dough can be used as a substitute, but the texture will be slightly different—less flaky and more bread-like.
Is it possible to make these ahead of time and bake later?
You can prepare the wrapped hot dogs in advance and store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking. Bring them to room temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

Ingredients
For the Crescent Dog Wraps
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Cooking spray or oil (as needed)
For the Filling
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot enough to bake the crescent rolls evenly and achieve a golden crust.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into triangles as indicated on the packaging. Optionally, flatten each triangle slightly with a rolling pin to enlarge the surface for easier wrapping.

- Bake: Place the wrapped dogs onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chili dog delights to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth from hot filling.
