Ingredients
Scale
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.
- Assemble the dogs: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili.
- Roll the dogs: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle securely around the hot dog, making sure to seal the edges well so that the chili and cheese do not leak out during baking.
- 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.
Notes
- You can use either canned or homemade chili depending on your preference.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder over the crescent dough before rolling.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to prevent chili leakage during baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces like mustard or ketchup for a complete snack.
- These can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
