With minimal prep and simple pantry ingredients, this casserole is ideal for busy weeknights, potluck dinners, football parties, or anytime you're craving classic comfort food without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 8 beef hot dogs, sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chili without beans
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Mustard and ketchup for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Assemble the Base

Spread the chili evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

3. Add the Hot Dogs

Scatter the sliced hot dogs evenly over the chili mixture.

4. Add the Biscuits

Cut each biscuit into quarters and arrange the pieces evenly over the chili and hot dogs, leaving small gaps for even baking.

5. Top with Cheese

Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the biscuit layer.

6. Bake

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and parsley before serving. Serve warm with mustard, ketchup, or your favorite hot dog toppings.

Expert Tips

Use chili without beans for a classic chili dog flavor, or choose chili with beans if you prefer extra texture. Cut the biscuit dough into equal pieces to ensure even baking. Cover loosely with foil if the biscuits begin browning too quickly.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the casserole in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through. Freeze cooled portions for up to 2 months.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with coleslaw, potato salad, corn on the cob, baked beans, pickle spears, or a crisp green salad. Add jalapeños, diced onions, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips for extra flavor and crunch.

Recipe Variations

Swap beef hot dogs for turkey, chicken, or plant-based hot dogs. Add cooked ground beef, bacon, jalapeños, black olives, or diced bell peppers to the chili. Experiment with pepper jack, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or smoked cheddar for a different cheesy twist.
