Cheesy Chili Dog Hand Pies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Chili Dog Hand Pies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will help keep your hand pies from sticking.

2. Step 2

   Next, take your pie crusts and cut each one in half.

3. Step 3

   On a clean surface, lay down one half of the crust and generously sprinkle a quarter of the shredded Cheddar cheese right in the center.

4. Step 4

   Then, add a quarter of the prepared chili, followed by a quarter of the sliced hot dogs, and finish it off with a quarter of the diced onion.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to fold the crust over the filling, creating a delightful pocket of flavor.

6. Step 6

   Pinch the edges firmly to seal in all that goodness, and place your filled hand pie on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Step 7

   Repeat this delightful process with the remaining crusts and filling ingredients, letting your creativity shine.

8. Step 8

   To let the steam escape while baking, grab a sharp knife and make a few small slits on the top of each pie—this little step ensures they bake perfectly.

9. Step 9

   Now, pop those hand pies into your preheated oven and let them bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

10. Step 10

    Once they’re out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before diving in.

    Enjoy these scrumptious hand pies as a fun snack or a hearty meal, and savor every bite!.
