Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Sauce
- 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
Main Assembly
- 8 hot dogs
- 8 low carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare chili sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cooked ground chuck, diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Layer casserole: Spoon a portion of the chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Roll each hot dog in a low carb tortilla and place them seam-side down into the chili sauce, arranging them evenly.
- Add remaining sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining chili sauce over the rolled hot dogs, then evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
- Cool and serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite low-carb toppings such as jalapeños, sour cream, or chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground chuck for a leaner option.
- Make sure to use low carb tortillas to keep the dish keto-friendly.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
- For added spice, consider adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the chili sauce.
- This casserole can be easily doubled for a larger crowd.
