Once upon a time, my Mother-in-Law and I (and several amazing friends) planned and fed a large crowd of volunteers after a long day of service.
The menu was simple. Pull Pork Sandwiches and Hot Dogs.
Our pulled pork estimated count was perfect. Exactly the perfect amount (and I mean nothing left) of the pulled pork. However we had over estimated our hot dog count. After the event, and giving quite a few hot dogs away for people to take home, we still had a lot.
We ate hot dogs for two days and then realized that we had to figure out a way to use them all up. That’s when I stumbled upon this easy recipe. We like chili and we like hot dogs and we really like chili dogs, so why not do a Chili Dog Casserole?
That is when I stumbled upon this recipe. Easy, quick and we all loved it! It reheated well the next day for lunch and was a way to use up some of the extra hot dogs and buns we were left with!
If your family loves Chili Dogs, why not try this Chili Dog Casserole?!
