recipe faq's

What if I don't have an oven-safe skillet

You can use a pie plate or simply bake this classic appetizer in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the chili dip in a dish and bake in the oven or even in the crock pot.

What kind of hot dogs should I use?

I like to use a beef hot dog like Nathan's Famous for this easy appetizer, but you can even use cocktail weenies whatever you prefer.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can mix the dip together in a bowl and add the cheddar cheese on top. Wrap the buttery crescent rolls around the hot dogs and place them on a plate in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

Can I use homemade chili?

Of course, canned chili is just a great way to save time! Homemade is always best in my opinion. You can use my No bean chili recipe.
