CHILI DOG CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS

• Jiffy Cornbread Mix: For less than a dollar, an egg, and some milk, you have a decent pan of cornbread.  I love using this convenient mix for other recipes.
• Olive oil: Use this flavorful oil to sauté the onions.
• Onion: Brown onions for a mild taste.
• Hot dogs: Use your favorite brand. Kids love them, adults love them!
• Chili with beans: Buy your favorite brand. The chili adds just the right moisture and flavor.
• Brown sugar: A little sweetness is a nice addition to the casserole.
• Garlic powder: A little pungent garlic powder gives the casserole mixture a punch.
• Chili powder: Chili powder drives home this chili-based dish.
• Cheddar cheese: What’s a chili dog without cheese? We add some to the mixture and on top of the cornbread too.

TIPS 

• Variations! This is a simple dish that can be assembled and baked in a flash. Variations would include homemade chili (with or without beans); or additions of bacon, jalapeños, more onions, a squirt of mustard, hot sauce, or any of your favorite toppings.

SERVING RECOMMENDATIONS

It also pairs well with Mexican corn salad, Mexican rice, KFC coleslaw, or a cold strawberry salad.

STORING + FREEZING + MAKE-AHEAD

• How Long Can You Keep This in The Fridge? Once made, your Chili Dog Casserole will last up to four days in the fridge.
• Can You Freeze This? Wrap the cooled casserole tightly, label, and freeze for up to three months.  When ready to eat, fully thaw, reheat, and enjoy!
