CHILI CHEESE DOG CASSEROLE

When it comes to finding meals that my whole family loves, you really can’t go wrong with a casserole made out of our favorite foods. There’s nothing like throwing together an easy oven meal that I know my kiddos will devour, like my Baked Spaghetti.

We love chili cheese dogs, they are such a fun and indulgent food. But let’s be honest, yes they are pretty easy, but they can be a bit of a mess to clean up and we don’t always want fire up the grill. This Chili Cheese Dog Casserole has all the best parts of a classic chili dog with less mess.

Chili Cheese Dog Casserole is the best Super Bowl main dish! No need to worry chili dripping out of the bun onto your carpet and guests can easily help themselves. Make it up to a day ahead of time, and pop in the oven right before guests arrive. It can easily be doubled for a big crowd too.

If you want to make slow cooker Chili Cheese Dog Casserole (and who wouldn’t want an easier way?), I’ve included some instructions down below the variations. Speaking of variations, this casserole was made with my Beef Chili, but you can use 2 cans of store-bought chili instead if you’re in a pinch. Or stir in some Chili Seasoning to give it even more flavor.

Serve with with your favorite chili toppings like diced onions, cilantro, tomatoes, hot sauce, and sliced avocado. To give it more of a crunch, top with some corn chips like Fritos. Make a garden salad or Rainbow Roasted Vegetables for a healthy, tasty side to balance out your meal.

Can you make Chili Cheese Dog Casserole ahead?

This is a great casserole for making ahead of time and storing in the freezer. I wouldn’t pre-make it without baking, as the crescent dough sheets will get soggy and won’t crisp up at baking time.
