Your kids will flip for these Healthy Chili-Cheese Dogs! Uncured hot dogs cost a few dollars more than regular ones, but they're worth it. They are lower in fat and sodium and free of nitrites. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1 clove garlic, finely chopped |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1 8-oz. can tomato sauce |
1 15-oz. can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed |
salt, optional |
8 uncured turkey or chicken hot dogs |
8 whole-wheat hot dog buns, toasted |
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar |
Directions:
1. Warm oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and chili powder and sauté 30 seconds. Stir in tomato sauce and beans and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, if desired.
2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add hot dogs and boil 5 minutes. Drain well, place on buns, top with chili and cheese, and serve immediately.
