Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 hot dogs
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
- Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Flatten each triangle slightly with a rolling pin if desired for easier rolling.
- Step 4: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Step 5: Roll each triangle up around the hot dog starting from the wide end, making sure to seal the edges well to prevent leaking.
- Step 6: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Step 7: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to avoid hot filling burns.
Tips & Variations
- For added flavor, mix the garlic powder and onion powder into the cheese before sprinkling.
- Try using different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for variations.
- Include diced onions or jalapeños in the chili topping for extra spice.
- Use homemade chili for a fresher taste or canned chili for convenience.
Storage
Store any leftover chili dog delights in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes or until heated through and the dough is crisp again. Avoid microwaving to keep the crescent rolls from becoming soggy.

FAQs
Can I prepare these in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the chili dog delights ahead of time and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 4 hours before baking. For longer storage, assemble, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a bag and bake from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What if I don’t have crescent roll dough?
If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can use puff pastry sheets as a substitute. Just cut the dough into triangles large enough to wrap around the hot dogs and follow the same steps for rolling and baking.

Ingredients
Dough & Main Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 4 hot dogs
Toppings
- 1 cup chili (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Other
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the crescent rolls evenly and to a golden brown.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil to ensure easy removal of the rolls after baking.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Flatten each triangle slightly with a rolling pin if you want thinner dough wrapping around the hot dogs.
- Add Fillings: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each dough triangle. Spoon about two tablespoons of chili over the hot dog, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Optionally, sprinkle each with garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll each triangle around the hot dog and fillings, making sure to seal the edges tightly so the chili and cheese don’t leak out during baking.
- Bake: Arrange the wrapped hot dogs seam side down on your prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chili dog delights cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese set slightly and makes them easier to handle.
Notes
- You can use homemade chili or canned chili for convenience.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder on the crescent roll dough before adding the hot dogs.
- Serve with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauces for added taste.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges properly to avoid leakage during baking.
- These can be reheated in the oven or microwave for leftovers.
