    This Hot Dog Casserole is so delicious and gluten and grain free. A good chili dog casserole is such a good comfort food for nights in!

    It uses tostones in the casserole which means it's quite allergen friendly!

    Chili Dog Casserole Ingredients

    • Plantains
    • Ground Beef
    • Bell Peppers
    • Onions
    • Garlic
    • Crushed Tomatoes
    • Salt
    • Hotdogs
    • Cheddar Cheese

    Instructions

    Start by making the tostones.

    Next, make the chili! Cook the ground beef and veggies, then add the tomatoes and hot dogs.

    Now it's time to layer! It goes tostones, chili, cheese, repeat.

    Finally bake the casserole at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until hot and bubbly and lightly golden!

    Substitutions

    • Plantains- thinly slice sweet potatoes into rounds and bake them with a bit of salt and oil. Cook them until they are just softened and use in place of the plantains.
    • Cheese- try using nutritional yeast. It gives a very cheesy flavor and you won't feel like you're missing out on the cheese!
    • Extras- you could also add in more veggies or sub them out. Try carrots or celery, or even add in jalapenos for an extra kick!

    Toppings and Extras

    To take this dish to the next level, most definitely serve it with hot sauce! My favorite hot sauce for both quality ingredients and flavor is the mild buffalo sauce from The New Primal! Use the THECLEANHAPPYLIFE for 15% off!

    A cheaper and classic hot sauce that goes well also is Franks original hot sauce, or the buffalo wing sauce!

    I like to serve it with sour cream and green onions too. Delicious!

      You have combined three of my family's favorite things ( chili, plantains and in the case of my son, hotdogs). I must make this recipe soon. Thank you so much for sharing it.

      My husband is a rather picky eater, it's hard to find new recipes he will like, this looks like something he would love. I will have to try your recipe with sausage in place of hotdogs for him, it will be a nice change to our weekly dinner routine. Thanks πŸ˜‰
