Chili Dog Biscuit Casserole – The American classic chili cheese dog turned into an easy weeknight casserole! Â This dish is full of flavor and makes a fun dinner the whole family will love.
Does it get any more classic than a hot dog loaded up with warm chili and melty cheese? Â I think not.
Pretty sure my kids could live off of the things.
I have one child that is ALL about hot dogs all the time and would prefer to just eat them raw out of the package (no thanks, dude).
The other kiddo doesn’t even think about putting a hot dog in her pie hole unless it’s a chili dog!
Me, I can do a hot dog, just not very often.
But, I can do this chili dog casserole every single day of my cheese loving life if you’d let me.
While I always like to keep my posts light and happy around here, I do want to touch base with you guys on a more personal level.
If you follow me on Instagram and my story there, you’ll already know why I was away from my blog last week. Â I was still cooking, I just found it difficult to make a post, and I wanted to share why.
This recipe was made last week because some comfort food was much needed.
A bout a week ago, we lost a dear family member. Â My cousin, Shawn.
His story is a long one, as he was a childhood cancer survivor.
He lived with brain damage the majority of his life.
BUT, he LIVED. Â He wasn’t supposed to, but he defeated the odds at an early age and lived to be 39 years old.
Shawn was by far the most precious person to ever have existed. Â A truly innocent, loving, kind, soul.
He was loved by everyone.
He is missed by everyone.

Thanks to my readers for bearing with me while I was away from the blog last week.
We’re back up and running this week and this comfort food dinner seemed like a good place to start!
If it’s too hot in your neck of the woods to heat up your oven but you still want some cheesy chili comfort food, be sure to check out my Crockpot Frito Chili Pie.
Enjoy!

Notes
This recipe was shared over at The Weekend Potluck!
Instead of biscuits I use the cheapest hot dog buns I can find and break them up into pieces.. You can let them set out for a few hours to get a little dry if you wish. Other than that I make it just the same. Seems less doughy to me this way.
I love the story behind this recipe so, so much. I lost my brother many years ago, so I can relate…as I’m sure many others can! I’m making this recipe tonight because I’m missing my brother, and I want the ultimate comfort food. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I’m leaving 5 stars because I KNOW it’ll be awesome. 😉
How is this recipe re-heated as left overs?
It reheats very well 🙂
I was looking for a recipe to use up my leftover homemade chili…ran across this. Super easy and delicious! So, the next time you have leftover chili…
Super easy to make! Just put it in the oven. My fiance loves chili dogs so this is perfect!!
This was an easy recipe. I used leftover grilled hot dogs and the chili with beans. We loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Very good! Tasted like a chili dog in casserole form – obviously that was the goal, but it definitely worked! One of my kids even ate 3 pieces, which is a lot for his age/size! Everyone enjoyed! Thanks for the yummy recipe!
I put the biscuits on the bottom and the top and I’m hoping that will work. it’s in the oven now so I’ll let you know soon! Bless all!
This is really good! I was pleasantly surprised. I like chili dogs, so this is a neat alternative. I’ve made it several times since I came across this recipe, and it’s been a hit each time. It even reheats pretty good in the microwave when I’ve taken the leftovers to work. I use Bryan chili with beans, and those Bar S jumbo brown hotdogs. My husband and sons are on their way back from a camping/hiking weekend, so I just put this in the oven for them to eat when they get here. I’m sure it isn’t the healthiest, but you aren’t going for healthy with this dish, you are getting tasty and hearty. Put a salad with it if it makes you feel better haha!
My mom loves hot dogs and bisquits, can’t wait to make this for her. Ty
