Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Crescent dough– 1 package of the canned crescent dough you can find in the refrigerated food sections
Cocktail wieners– A package of Lil Smokies, etc.
Olive oil– Another light colored oil would also work. The brush of oil on the outside will help the crescent rolls brown up to flaky golden perfection when baked.
Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
Chili– A can of chili without beans
Cheese– Shredded cheddar
Green onions– Thinly sliced

How to Make

Making an appetizer as decadent and delicious as this chili cheese dog dip ring is actually very easy!

Just open and unroll the crescent dough onto a cutting board.

Use a sharp knife to cut each triangle into three separate pieces.

Wrap a slice of dough tightly around each cocktail wiener.

Set each pig in a blanket side-by-side against the outer edge of a medium cast iron skillet, forming a wreath, until you can’t fit anymore.

Brush the top of each one lightly with olive oil.

Then stir the cream cheese, chili, and cheddar cheese together in a small bowl.

Scoop the mixture into the cast iron skillet in the center of wreath.

Sprinkle the top of the dip with extra cheese.

Bake the dip 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dip is bubbly.

When the dip is hot, take it out of the oven and let it rest for five minutes.

Sprinkle the dish with thinly sliced scallions and enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat the dip in a hot oven until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

You can use any kind of chili you like even if it is the kind with beans. If you have leftover homemade chili, you could also use 2 scant cups of that instead.
Softening the cream cheese to room temperature will help the dip mix together easier.
Serve it with extra tortilla chips for dipping.
