Here’s our best recipe for a satisfyingly scrumptious Chili Cheese Dog Casserole that will have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients:

– 8 hot dogs, sliced

– 1 (15 oz) can of chili (preferably without beans)

– 1 (10.5 oz) can of condensed Cheddar cheese soup

– ½ cup milk

– 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

– 2 cups biscuit baking mix

– ½ cup water

– 1 small onion, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced hot dogs and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. This should only take about 4-5 minutes.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked hot dogs, chili, and chopped onion. Stir well until evenly combined.

4. Next, combine the Cheddar cheese soup with milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until smooth and warm. Pour half of this mixture over the hot dog and chili mixture.

5. Stir in one cup of shredded Cheddar cheese to the remaining cheese soup mixture in the saucepan. Keep this warm over low heat.

6. In another large bowl, mix together the biscuit baking mix and water until a soft dough forms.

7. Spread half of the biscuit dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

8. Spoon the chili-hot dog mixture on top of the biscuit dough layer and smooth it out evenly.

9. Gently spread the remaining biscuit dough over the chili-hot dog mixture. You can drop spoonfuls of the dough and then spread it out with wet fingers or a spatula.

10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is nicely golden brown.

11. Remove the casserole from the oven and evenly pour the remaining warm cheese sauce over the top.

12. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of shredded Cheddar cheese.

13. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

14. Allow the casserole to sit for about 5 minutes before serving to give it time to set up.
