Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
My friend Trisha Headman originally found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. We tweaked it a little bit and this is what we came up with:
8 hot dog buns
8 - 10 hot dogs
2 cans (15 ounce) chili (with or without beans, whatever your preference)
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 cups cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 9 x 13 pan with vegetable spray. Cut up buns into bite-sized pieces and place evenly in the bottom of the pan. Cut up the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle on top of the bun. Pour both cans of chili over the hot dogs, sprinkle on onions and cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes. Yummy.
Another variation:
Chili Cheese Dog Tater Tot Casserole
Substitute a bag of Tater tots for the buns. This is delicious. We even thought of cooking the tots separately so they are crunchy, warming the chili in the microwave and then assembling the dish right before you are serving. It might even be good with a cheese sauce over the top. Yes, this is extremely fattening, but it could be a Halloween tradition, you only have once a year!
