Keto Chili Dog Casserole Recipe

ByElla Hart December 15, 2025December 15, 2025

Introduction

This Keto Chili Dog Casserole is a comforting, low-carb twist on classic chili dogs. It’s packed with flavorful ground beef chili, wrapped hot dogs, and topped with melted cheddar cheese—a perfect dish for a cozy night in.

The dish shows two hot dogs wrapped in soft, yellowed pasta sheets, covered with a thick layer of chunky, brown ground meat sauce with bits of red tomato, topped by a smooth, shiny layer of rich orange melted cheddar cheese that spreads evenly across the top, all resting on a white plate with a simple patterned rim. The edges of the pasta are slightly crispy and curled, and the hot dogs peek out on one side, showing their browned, smooth skin. The background is a white marbled texture.

Ingredients

1 pound ground chuck
1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup water
8 hot dogs
8 low carb tortillas or wraps
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine cooked ground chuck, diced tomatoes, water, and spices. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Spoon some chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared dish. Roll each hot dog in a tortilla and place them seam-side down in the sauce.
Step 4: Pour remaining chili sauce over the hot dogs and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Bake for 30-35 minutes until cheese is bubbly and casserole is set.
Step 6: Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the chili sauce.
Use turkey or chicken hot dogs for a leaner option.
Substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
If you prefer, use a low-carb tortilla recipe for homemade wraps.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or microwave individual portions for about 1-2 minutes. Avoid reheating in the microwave too long to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The dish shows a close-up of two hot dogs wrapped in lasagna noodles, each noodle covered with a thick layer of brown meat sauce that has chunks of cooked ground beef and bits of red tomato. On top, there is a rich, melted orange cheddar cheese layer that covers the meat sauce and noodles, slightly glossy and smooth with some bubbly texture. The hot dogs peek out from one end, showing the red-brown skin with a shiny, slightly wrinkled surface. The food rests on a white plate with a simple pattern, placed on a white marbled surface with a blurred background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
