Keto Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
Are you looking for a delicious low-carb meal that’s family-approved and easy to whip up on a busy weeknight? If you’re trying to eat healthier and cut the carbs — while still serving up meals your family will actually enjoy — this Keto Chili Cheese Dog Casserole needs to be added to your menu rotation!
It’s hearty, satisfying, kid-friendly, and downright delicious. In fact, it’s one of our 12-year-old’s favorite dinners — and it’s become a staple in our house. Best of all, it’s simple to put together and doesn’t require a ton of time or fancy ingredients.
You can use homemade chili (like my Easy Keto Chili) if you want to make it completely from scratch, or save time by grabbing your favorite store-bought no-bean chili. I often make a batch of keto chili ahead of time, which makes assembling this casserole even quicker on a busy night!
Whether you’re new to keto or a seasoned pro, you’re going to love this comforting casserole that brings all the flavors of a chili cheese dog — without all the carbs.

Equipment Needed
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Large bowl (for optional chili-dipping step)
Ingredients
- 8 cups homemade no-bean chili (or 4 cans store-bought no-bean chili)
- 10 hot dogs (uncured beef franks if you want to keep it really clean)
- 10 Egglife Original Egg White Wraps (or 5 wraps, cut in half)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (add more if you love it cheesy!)
Choosing the Healthiest Ingredients
Because keto is all about keeping the carbs low and the nutrition high, here are a few tips to make sure you’re using the best ingredients:
- Egglife Wraps: Instead of traditional tortillas, we use Egglife Egg White Wraps for this recipe, which have zero carbs and a good amount of protein. They’re a fantastic swap that keeps this meal keto-friendly without sacrificing texture.
- Chili: Be sure to use chili without beans. Beans are too high in carbs to fit into a strict keto lifestyle. If you want full control over the ingredients, I highly recommend making my Easy Keto Chili — it’s simple, hearty, and perfect for casseroles like this.
- Hot Dogs: For the healthiest option, try to choose uncured, grass-fed beef hot dogs with minimal ingredients. We like the Marketside brand from Walmart, but any clean-label brand that’s free from nitrates, nitrites, fillers, and added sugars is a great choice. That said — real life happens! You’ll notice in the main photo I used Oscar Mayer hot dogs this time. They may not be the cleanest choice, but they were on sale and in my fridge, and sometimes you just go with what you’ve got. No guilt here, mama — use what works for you and your budget!
- Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar is always best! Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents like cellulose, which aren’t ideal on keto. If you have the time, shred your own cheddar using a hand grater, food processor, or electric shredder. (But if you’re a busy mama and need to grab the pre-shredded bag sometimes — zero judgment here!)
How to Assemble Your Keto Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
This casserole comes together in just a few easy steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Spread half of the chili in the bottom of your 9×13-inch baking dish. Smooth it out into an even layer.
- Wrap your hot dogs:
- (Optional, but recommended for softer wraps!) Pour the remaining chili into a large bowl. Dip each Egglife wrap into the chili to coat it lightly before wrapping it around a hot dog.
- Whether you dip or not, wrap each hot dog snugly in an Egglife wrap and place it seam-side down on top of the chili layer in the baking dish.
- (Optional, but recommended for softer wraps!) Pour the remaining chili into a large bowl. Dip each Egglife wrap into the chili to coat it lightly before wrapping it around a hot dog.
- Repeat until all 10 hot dogs are wrapped and arranged in the dish. Try to keep them in a single layer without overlapping.
- Top with the rest of the chili, spreading it evenly over the wrapped hot dogs.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar all over the top. Feel free to be as generous as your heart desires!
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to brown slightly around the edges.
- Serve and enjoy! This casserole is delicious on its own, but you can also top it with mustard, diced onions, jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This keto chili cheese dog casserole is a full meal all by itself, but you can round it out with a few easy sides:
- A fresh, crisp green salad with homemade ranch dressing
- Roasted or sautéed low-carb veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini
- Keto-friendly coleslaw
- Dill pickle spears (for a classic chili dog experience!)
