Ingredients

1 8-ounce can crescent dough
6 bun length beef hot dogs
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
2 15-ounce cans chili
optional toppings: chopped red onion, relish, ketchup, mustard, sliced jalapeños, pickled jalapeños, sliced pepperoncinis or banana pepper slices, green onions, cilantro, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, sour cream, sauerkraut, or more cheese.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the crescent dough and separate it at the perforations. You will need 6 of the 8 dough pieces.
Use 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar and divide evenly on each triangle of raw dough.
Lay a hot dog across the widest part of the dough and roll it up. Set in the center of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Repeat for all the hot dogs keeping space between each dog.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 22 minutes.
Pull the dish out of the oven and carefully flip over each wrapped hot dog (this ensures they cook through. Unless you don't mind a tiny bit of doughiness on the inside bottom then don't flip them, they definitely are not as pretty when you flip them over).
Spoon in both cans of chili in along the sides of the pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the chili. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for another 10-15 minutes until chili is hot.
Serve immediately with favorite condiments if desired.
