Chili Dog Bread Ring Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Leaving them attached, place the 8 hot dog buns in a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33-cm) baking dish. Cut a rectangle in each hot dog bun, making sure to stay 1 centimeter from the edges. Push down on the bread cut-out to compact it tightly into the bottom of each bun, making sure to press down on the bottom edges as well. This will help create a larger space for the fillings and reduce mess.
• Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley in a small bowl, then brush the buns and their hollowed insides with the garlic butter. Bake for 5 minutes to toast the buns as well as help the sides of the buns firm up so they don't collapse under the weight of the fillings.
• Place a slice of cheddar cheese inside each bun, then spoon a bit of chili inside each one. Slide a hot dog snugly on top of the chili in each bun, then top with more chili.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and the chili has started to brown. Top with fresh parsley, then slice the hot dog boats along their connected seams to serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 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!
