Chili Cheese Dog Casserole!

Hey hey!
So we tried a new recipe last night!! I found it on Pinterest of course and here is the original source!
Anyway I did grocery shopping yesterday and after shopping for 2 hours I really wasn't feeling like cooking a huge meal but I was also not feeling like ordering pizza seeing as how we're doing that on Friday #NationalPizzaMonth and I'm really over the bagged and boxed meals for now.. so I needed something quick..

I actually had this on the menu for tonight but Jaxon requested Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo so that is covered LOL. My menu is so out the window this week but that's okay I'm still glad I made one... it's my back up plan and it's always a good idea to have a back up... 
ANYWAY on with the food already...
Okay so this is friggin easy... and it all goes in one dish and done in 30 mins..
maybe 5-10 mins to prep...

INGREDIENTS:
Buns/Starch of choice
{I used just plain ol hot dog buns but after eating it.. you could use any starch.. well I wouldn't do rice but french fries, biscuits, baked potatoes.. yes yes yes.. 
Hot Dogs
Shredded Cheese of Choice
{I used Cheddar}
Chili of Choice
{Any will work I do make my own homemade but this was a last minute easy meal so can it was!!}

I used an 8x8 dish since this was going to just feed hubby and I... and we still had leftovers lol.

So. 8x8 dish..
I used 3 hot dogs cut into pieces..
3 buns.. same thing.. bite sized pieces..
Cover with chili..
Top with cheese..
Bake in oven at 350 for 30 mins.
BAM DONE!

This is standard for any size I think... I was worried about the time because the original recipe used a 13x9 but even in an 8x8 that temp and time was fine...
Just watch it.. all you're really doing is heating everything up anyway.. getting that cheese all nice and melty.. get the chili all bubbly.. ohhhh man...

You know what I bet you could even do this with *GASP* cornbread!!!
I make my own but I bet I could pour it over the hot dogs and chili and bake it...
OH MY WORD.
This recipe is very versatile..
And then of course you can top it with whatever you want..
Hubby like mustard on his..
I like jalapenos.. or banana peppers..
But sour cream would be good too... hot sauce.. avocado..
Yeah I'm in love with this recipe... easy.. fast.. little clean up.. 
It's a winner!!
Alrighty well I just wanted to share this quickly today especially since it was such a hit!! Let me know what you guys think because you know you're dying to try it already! ;) 
Have an awesome day y'all!!
