Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 can (15 oz) chili (with or without beans)
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or 1 box cornbread mix (prepared)
  • 68 beef or turkey hot dogs, sliced
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or green onions (for garnish)

Optional Add-ins:

  • Diced onions
  • Jalapeños
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • Chopped pickles for tang

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish.

Step 2: Layer the chili
Pour the chili into the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 3: Add hot dogs and seasonings
Top the chili with sliced hot dogs. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard if using.

Step 4: Add cheese
Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the hot dogs.

Step 5: Pour the cornbread batter
Prepare cornbread mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter evenly over the chili and hot dogs.

Step 6: Top and bake
Add remaining cheese on top. Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden and cooked through. Garnish with parsley or green onions.
