Chili Cheese Dog Dip Recipe

Chili Cheese Dog Dip wreath is a fun party food that is great for sharing. Hot dogs are wrapped in Pillsbury crescent rolls to make pigs in a blanket and are baked in a wreath shape.

A chili cheese dip is made to fill the wreath and topped with cheddar cheese. Baked until golden brown and bubbly this dip is the ultimate twist on the classic chili cheese dog.

Serve this at your next game day party or movie night and your friends will have a blast! Serve with extra chips on the side.

What is in Chili Cheese Dog Dip?

• Chili – one of the best parts of this dip is that you can make it in a flash with a can of chili! Of course you can also use homemade chili if you have it on hand. I often make a large batch of chili and freeze them in individual serving sizes in freezer safe containers. To make the dip I simple thaw a portion out and proceed with the recipe.

• Pillsbury Crescent Rolls – a secret weapon in the kitchen for quick appetizers and sides. I love using crescent rolls in my kitchen! I often cannot find the ‘pigs in a blanket’ wrappers in Canada but if you can find those in your local grocery store you can use those also.

• Hot Dogs – for a classic chili cheese dog this recipe uses hot dogs. However, you can get creative and use little smokies or smoked sausage of choice.

• Cream Cheese – the dip is a combination of chili and cream cheese. It adds a creamy texture to the chili and binds it together to become thick enough to dip chips or pigs in a blanket in!

• Cheddar Cheese – shredded cheddar cheese is mixed into the dip and also baked on top of the dip for a beautiful and cheesy topping! My favorite part of this dip is dipping corn chips in the cheese top layer.

• Green Onion – this optional garnish adds a pop of color to the dip ring but also a bit of freshness. You could also use chives if you have those on hand instead.

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cast iron skillet, pie dish or round baking dish.

2 Unroll Crescent roll dough and cut each crescent into 2 slices. Roll a slice around each piece of hot dog.

3 Place each wrapped hot dog side by side in the prepared round baking dish, forming a wreath.

4 Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops of the crescent dough are just starting to brown.

5 In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chili and 1 cup cheddar until evenly combined. Pour mixture into center of the wreath. Sprinkle the top of the dip with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.

6 Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese has melted and the crescents are fully cooked.

7 Top the dip with diced green onions and let cool for 5-7 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
