Introduction

Crescent Roll Chili Dog Delights are a fun and easy twist on classic chili dogs. Wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough and baked to golden perfection, they make a delicious snack or meal that everyone will love.

Three hot dogs are placed side by side on a white plate, each wrapped in a soft, golden-brown croissant dough forming a layered, flaky base. On top of the visible dark brown sausage, there is a layer of chunky, rich chili with a deep reddish-brown color, giving texture and moistness. Above the chili, a layer of bright yellow shredded cheddar cheese is scattered, melting slightly into the warm topping. Small pieces of fresh, vivid green chopped scallions are sprinkled over everything, adding a pop of color and freshness. A few scallion pieces have fallen onto the white plate.

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.
Step 4: Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Top with about two tablespoons of chili and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Roll each triangle around the hot dog starting from the wide end, sealing the edges well to prevent leaking.
Step 6: Place the wrapped hot dogs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown.
Step 7: Allow the Chili Dog Delights to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder and onion powder inside the dough before rolling it around the hot dog.
Use your favorite chili recipe or add beans for a heartier filling.
Try adding sliced jalapeños or mustard inside for a spicy kick.
Serve with ketchup or additional cheese sauce for dipping.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to keep the crescent rolls crisp. Microwaving is quicker but may soften the dough.

How to Serve

The image shows two croissant dogs on a white plate set on a white marbled surface. Each croissant dog has three layers: the bottom layer is the golden brown, flaky croissant shaped like a bun, slightly curved around the second layer, which is a reddish-brown hot dog. The top layer is a generous serving of dark brown chili with bits of meat, topped with shredded bright orange cheddar cheese. Scattered around and on the chili are chopped green onions, adding a fresh green color contrast. The croissant’s flaky texture and the shiny hot dog ends are clearly visible.
