July 28 Chili Dog Day

Here some chili dog recipes for you to enjoy:

Make Healthy Chili Cheese Dogs

Ingredients

Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Hot Dogs

Can of Hormel Turkey Chili

Sara Lee Wheat Hot Dog Buns

Kraft 2% shredded cheddar cheese

Chopped Onion (if desired)

Directions

Cook hot dogs on the grill or boil in water. Set aside. Heat chili in a pan on the stove or in the microwave in a safe dish. Take a bun and add hotdog, 1/8 cup chili, 1 Tbsp. cheese and onion.

These are delicious! One loaded chili dog contains approx. 250 calories, 6 grams of fat, 30 carbs and 18 grams of protein. Because they are high in sodium, I wouldn't consider this healthy eating, but not a bad choice if you're craving a chili dog, considering the original version contains 3 times the calories, fat and salt. Enjoy!
