Introduction

This Keto Chili Dog Casserole is a comforting, low-carb twist on a classic favorite. Packed with flavorful ground beef chili, wrapped hot dogs, and melted cheddar cheese, it’s perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal. Easy to prepare and great for the whole family.

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 cooked 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 chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared 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 over the rolled hot dogs, then sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite low-carb toppings if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, brown the ground chuck with diced onions before adding the remaining ingredients.
Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Use sugar-free tortillas to keep it strictly keto-friendly.
Add sliced jalapeños on top before baking for extra heat.

Storage

Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or microwave in short intervals. For best texture, avoid reheating in the microwave more than once.

How to Serve
