How to Make Reuben Crescent Bake:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray a 9-inch square or 11×7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the heated chili into the dish and spread it evenly.
2. Unroll the pizza crust and cut it into 4 strips. Cut each cheese stick in half lengthwise, then place one half on each side of a hot dog. Wrap a pizza dough strip around the cheese and hot dog, overlapping slightly in the center. Repeat this process with the remaining dough strips, cheese sticks, and hot dogs.
3. Place the wrapped hot dogs on top of the hot chili in the baking dish. Ensure that the chili is hot before adding the hot dogs.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dough is light golden brown.
5. While the bake is in the oven, melt the butter in a small microwavable cup on High until melted. Stir in the garlic powder and parsley.
6. Remove the baking dish from the oven and brush the top of each cheese dog with the butter mixture.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of Reuben Crescent Bake!
