Our favorite hot dog casserole with creamy mashed potatoes and cheese are baked into one heavy plate! It is the fusion we’ve all been wanting to recreate as one of our childhood favorites.

This combination is made even tastier with the tangy and salty flavors of yellow mustard baked under layers of yummy melted cheese.

Tips For Making Your Hot Dog Casserole Better

This comfort food is deliciously fun and definitely easy to make. Here are some tips that’ll help your hot dog casserole and mashed potatoes get oh so better!

Consider using cheese dogs. If you want something cheesier, store-bought hot dogs with cheese fillings will be a great option.
Cook your hot dogs first. Cooking the hot dogs before baking them with the rest of the ingredients would give the casserole extra juices and a savory taste.
Cheese is a must-add. Everyone loves cheese, especially the little ones. For this dish, we highly recommend topping it with crumbly cheeses like parmesan or cheddar cheese for a crispy top. But if you’re looking for a creamier cheese casserole, use easy-to-melt cheeses like swiss and/or mozzarella cheese instead.
Use russet potatoes. They have a naturally starchy and creamy taste and a soft and smooth texture. These qualities are what make them perfect for baking and mashing.
Consider mashing your potatoes manually. Russet potatoes are already smooth so you won’t be needing any electric grinder to mash them because we don’t want them to be too runny or sticky. Simply mash them manually using a spoon or potato masher.
Fill your casserole with just the right amount. Make sure to fill your casserole that only covers at least ¾ of the dish. Overfilling will give you a messy dish, while underfilling will dry out the contents of the casserole.
