You know how there are some foods that you feel a little ashamed by how much you love them? That’s us with hot dogs. Seriously, we know some people hate them and think they’re gross, but that never changes how we feel about them, or the fact that we would take a hot dog any time over tons of other food options. In this case, we think the addition of hot dogs and one other unexpected ingredient really turns this dish into a show-stopping meal you’ll come back to again and again.
We give you: the chili cheese dog bubble up casserole. A mouthful of a name, this dish is an all-in-one dinner that we can’t get enough of. As we mentioned above, it’s got lots of hot dog packed in, along with chili and beans, cheese, and that other unexpected ingredient…biscuits! What makes a bubble up a bubble up is typically the inclusion of refrigerated biscuit dough, either baked into the dish or on top of it.
Here, the biscuits act as a stand-in hot dog bun, but seriously, we’d go for a chili cheese dog biscuit any day now that we know how good it is! We coated our biscuits in herb butter (game changer) and then baked the biscuits on top of the chili cheese dog “filling”…so incredibly yummy!!! If you’re looking for an easy, flavorful, one-and-done meal that will never disappoint, this is definitely the one!
