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, brown the ground chuck over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Add diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano to the cooked beef. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 4: Spoon some of the chili sauce into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Step 5: Roll each hot dog in a low carb tortilla and place them seam-side down in the chili sauce in the casserole dish.
Step 6: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the hot dogs, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the casserole is set.
Step 8: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Add your favorite low-carb toppings if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use spicy or smoked sausages instead of hot dogs for extra flavor.
Top with sliced jalapeños or diced onions for a spicy kick.
Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella cheese for a different taste.
For thicker chili, simmer a bit longer or add a small amount of tomato paste.

Storage

Store any 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 in short bursts, stirring occasionally. This casserole does not freeze well due to the texture of the tortillas.

How to Serve

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
