Instructions
Creating this casserole is as enjoyable as eating it. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Lay out the crescent roll dough on a clean surface, separating them into individual triangles.
- Place one hot dog at the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of cheddar cheese over the hot dog.
- If desired, add diced onions and bell peppers on top for extra flavor and crunch.
- Carefully roll each crescent tightly around the hot dog, sealing the edges as you go.
- Arrange the rolled hot dogs in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
- If using, drizzle Dijon mustard over the top for a tangy twist.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
