Yesterday I made a big pot of chili to ward off the chill of a lovely fall day. Tonight we will have one of my husbands favorites, chili dogs. Super easy, grill the hot dogs, and have on hand to top them, chili, cheese, relish, kraut, chopped onions, bacon bits, chopped tomatoes, ketchup and mustard. You most definitely need a fork for this meal.
As a side for this nutritious meal, I usually serve "loaded" french fries. I start with a bag of seasoned frozen fries and bake them according to the package directions. When they are done, brush them with your favorite bottled barbecue sauce, sprinkle with bacon bits and shredded cheese. ( a little finely chopped ham is good, too.) Return the fries to the oven to melt the cheese, then top with sour cream and chives and serve. As always, I use fat free or reduced fat where ever I can, sour cream, shredded cheese, even the chopped ham can all be lower fat. When you love to eat like we do, you have to learn to cut the fat corners when you can.
Happy Monday everyone, enjoy the game.
