Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 8 hot dogs
Chili Sauce
- 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
Other
- 8 low carb tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Chili Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked ground chuck, petite diced tomatoes, water, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Assemble Casserole Base: Spoon some of the prepared chili sauce into the bottom of the sprayed casserole dish to create a flavorful base layer.
- Prepare Hot Dogs: Roll each hot dog in a low-carb tortilla, ensuring they are wrapped securely, then place them seam-side down on top of the chili sauce in the casserole dish.
- Add Remaining Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining chili sauce evenly over the wrapped hot dogs, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven 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 keto-friendly toppings if desired.
Notes
- Use low-carb tortillas to keep the dish keto-friendly.
- If preferred, substitute ground chuck with ground beef or turkey.
- Customize the chili seasoning according to your spice tolerance by adjusting chili powder or adding hot sauce.
- Serve with keto-friendly toppings such as sour cream, jalapeños, chopped onions, or avocado slices.
- Ensure the hot dogs are fully cooked before assembling the casserole.
