❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
1. Can I make this chili cheese dog casserole ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the casserole up to a day in advance. Just cover it and keep it in the fridge. When you are ready to bake, add about 10 minutes to the cooking time since it will be cold.
2. What kind of hot dogs work best?
Any hot dogs you like will work. I usually use beef hot dogs, but turkey or chicken hot dogs are fine too. Just make sure to cut them into small pieces so they mix well with the chili.
3. Can I use homemade chili instead of canned?
Absolutely. You can use 1 1/2 cups of your favorite homemade chili. Just make sure it is not too watery or the crust might get soggy.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
5. Can I freeze this casserole?
Yes, you can freeze it after baking. Let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
