Where has this Chili Dog Casserole recipe been all my life??? Everybody seems to love it! Absolutely wonderful and it’s so easy to make!
Nothing extravagant here, but for the effort it requires and the fact that it seems to please everyone’s taste for parties and sporting events I find it worthy.
Cheap, quick, and tasty.
I cook my hot dogs first, go with 1 can of bean and 1 can of no-bean chili, which I combine and warm, add about a quarter cup of ketchup to the mix to make the chili go a little further and put some cheese and a tad of the chili inside of each tortilla.

A great quick and easy meal that everybody likes!
- 2 15 oz. Cans of chili with beans I like Hormel Hot & Spicy
- 1 16 oz. Package of beef frankfurter I prefer Ball Park
- 10 8 inch flour tortillas the fajita sized ones
- 1 8 oz. Package Cheddar cheese shredded
The first step to prepare this recipe you need to preheat oven to 425 F
And then next step you need to spread ONE can of chili & beans in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Roll up franks inside tortillas and then place in a baking dish, seam side down, on top of chili and beans.
Top with remaining can of chili and beans, and sprinkle with cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, then bake at 425 F for about 30 minutes.
Tips and Tidbits About This Chili Dog Casserole
This recipe has a lot of potential.
When I told my picky family that we were having a hot dog casserole, they made gagging motions.
Who would have thought this was decent.
A BIG…HUGE… thing that I’d change for next time was cooking the hot dogs PRIOR to putting it in the oven. …unless of course, you like that straight out of the fridge taste, which most people don’t.
I put it in for the set amount of time and even cooked HALF the amount, and the hot dogs were still not cooked. We had to put them in the microwave.
There’s always using your favorite sausage link or my favorite andouille sausage instead.
Also, even after halving the recipe, I thought it needed more chili. I’ve used homemade chili too.
Don’t be afraid to add that cheese too and being creative and adding things like onions, etc.
It won’t be gooey (a worry I had). We also put the tortillas on the stove to cook them a little before baking.
Will do it again.
