Equipment

9x13-inch baking dish
Small bowl
Pastry brush
Aluminum foil

Ingredients

1 (8-oz) can refrigerated crescent dough
8 hot dogs
1 cup shredded cheddar
2 (15-oz) cans chili see Note 1
2 Tbsp butter melted
1 tsp chives finely chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 tsp garlic powder see Note 2

Instructions

Heat the oven to 375°F. Unroll the crescent dough, pinch the perforations together to seal, and cut into 8 even squares.
Sprinkle cheddar over each square and roll it around a hot dog.
Spread the chili in an even layer over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Lay the wrapped hot dogs side by side on top.
Mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and chives in a small bowl and brush it over the hot dogs.
Bake for 30 minutes, covering with foil if the crescent dough starts to get too dark.
Sprinkle with more chives and serve.

Notes

Chili: Canned chili keeps it quick. For a Cincinnati-style chili cheese dog, use chili without beans, or use your favourite homemade chili.
Seasoning: The original recipe lists garlic powder in the ingredients but onion powder in the method. Either works in the butter.
Nutrition: Estimated per serving (one wrapped hot dog plus chili) from the ingredients, using canned chili with beans and beef/pork hot dogs.
