Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 to 15 oz) heated chili
  • 1 can Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust
  • 4 Cheddar cheese sticks
  • 4 all-beef hot dogs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes

How to Make Chili Cheese Dog Bake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9-inch square or 11×7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Evenly spread the hot chili in the dish.
  2. Unroll the pizza crust and cut it into four strips. Halve one cheese stick lengthwise and place one half on each side of a hot dog. Wrap a pizza dough strip around the cheese and hot dog, slightly overlapping in the center. Repeat with the remaining dough strips, cheese sticks, and hot dogs. Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on top of the hot chili. (Make sure the chili is hot.)
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dough achieves a light golden brown color.
  4. Meanwhile, in a small microwavable cup, microwave the butter on High until melted. Stir in garlic powder and parsley.
  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Brush the butter mixture on top of each cheese dog. Serve immediately and enjoy!
