There’s something undeniably comforting about the nostalgic taste of a chili cheese dog. Now imagine all that savory, melty, and hearty goodness transformed into a crowd-pleasing casserole. This dish takes the classic flavors from the ballpark and turns them into a bubbly, oven-baked meal perfect for weeknights or game-day feasts.
This casserole begins with a rich, beefy chili layered over buttery biscuit dough and juicy slices of hot dog. Once baked, it becomes a cheesy, golden masterpiece topped with crispy bacon and green onions. The biscuit pieces puff up to cradle the bold chili mixture, offering a satisfying, fork-and-knife alternative to the messy handheld original.
It’s a meal the whole family can gather around, and it’s endlessly customizable to suit your preferences—spice it up, mellow it out, or pile on the toppings. Best of all, it’s a one-dish wonder that comes together with pantry staples and minimal prep.
