Chili Dog Bread Ring

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
• Cut hot dogs into thirds.
• Cut crescent roll triangles in half lengthwise so you have roughly 1-inch (2 ½ cm) by 5-inch (13 cm) triangle slices.
• Roll crescent dough around hot dog thirds, starting with the wider end of the dough closest to the hot dogs, making “pigs in blankets.”
• Arrange pigs in blankets around a 10-inch (25 cm) skillet in two tight circles, leaving a hole in the center of the skillet.
• Bake 15-20 minutes, until dough puffs up and becomes golden.
• In another large skillet, sauté onions until translucent.
• Add the ground beef to the onions, then season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring ground beef until mostly cooked.
• Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, cumin, chili powder, and sugar to the ground beef and onions. Stir until everything is well mixed. Simmer 10 minutes.
• When chili and the pigs-in-blankets skillet are both ready, spoon chili to fill the hole in center of the skillet. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
• Bake another 5-10 minutes until cheese is well melted.
• Top with diced green onion and serve.
• Enjoy!
