Ingredients

• 8 hot dogs
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Arrange the hot dogs in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Spoon the chili mixture evenly over the top of the hot dogs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chili layer.

Step 8

Unroll the crescent roll dough and place it over the casserole, stretching it as needed to cover the top. Pinch seams together if necessary.

Step 9

Brush the melted butter over the crescent roll dough. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice into portions and serve warm.
