Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 11x8 (or similar sized) casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spread 1/4 cup chili on the bottom of the baking dish and set aside.
- Cut the biscuits and hot dogs in half. Add some cheddar cheese to a half of a biscuit, then lay the hot dog on top of the cheese. Roll the biscuit around the hot dog and press to seal the edges. If your hot dogs are longer, cut them into thirds so they do not stick out too much from the biscuits.
- Set the prepared biscuit dogs in the casserole dish, standing straight up, leaving a little room between each one for spreading. Repeat until all biscuits and hot dogs are used. Add the remaining chili around and in between each biscuit wrapped hot dog.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes on the center rack, until the biscuits are golden brown. If your biscuits are browning too quickly as they bake, you can lightly cover the top of the casserole dish with foil.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes. Then drizzle the cheese sauce over the top of the casserole, garnish with the red onion, and serve immediately.

Notes
Store: While best served fresh, the leftovers are still tasty the next day. Cover the baking dish with foil and refrigerate it for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Microwave it in 20-second increments until warm. For large portions, reheat it in the oven at 300F for 20-25 minutes.
Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole as usual but don't bake it. Cover the baking dish with foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate it (raw) for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove the foil and set the uncooked casserole on the counter for 30 minutes. Bake as usual.
