Chili Dog Casserole

 

One of my husband's favorite things, are chili dogs. 

 

He loves them, and I'm quite sure if he could have them every day, he would.  I have a great recipe for oven chili dogs, already posted here on the blog.  It's one of those that you can throw together quick, pop in the oven and enjoy.  

I also love that it can be a great meal for a get together, or if you have a big family.  It's one of those recipes that you can make as many as you need or even just two or three.  

This casserole however, is like having your chili dog and fries, all in one spot, and let me tell you, it got rave reviews from the boys in the family.

And the girls too. I loved how easy it was to make and how filling and delicious it turned out. 

This is another great recipe from the blog 4 Sons 'R' Us. Go on over and check out her other recipes, you're sure to find quite a few delicious ones to add to your menu.
