Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then add the canned chill and Rotel to a 9×13-inch baking pan, and stir them together until well combined. Add the diced onions on top, then sprinkle the cheese to the center, and set the casserole aside. Lay out the crescent dough on the counter, then tear the croissants into 6 individual triangles, and place a cheese slice in each triangle.

Step 2

Roll the hot dogs up as shown in the video, then place them in the prepared pan, and bake them in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the crescent doughs turn golden brown and cooked through, cover the top with foil if needed to prevent them from burning. Serve and enjoy!
