Chili and Cheese Nachos

Dinner Tonight: Chili and Cheese Nachos




A whole lot cooler outside today, with a cold wind blowing. A lot of sunshine but only a of in the 40's. Had a family emergency late yesterday, Mom and Dad had went out to eat and came back home when Dad fell getting out of the car. He hit hid head pretty hard on the driveway. There was a whole lot of blood and he had a nasty gash on back of his head. We had to cal 911 and there were here in minutes and had to take him to a local hospital. They took scans and x-rays which all came back negative of any damage but he ended up getting 3 staples on his head to patch the gash on his head. He's back home and rested most of the day. For dinner tonight it seemed all of us wanted the same thing, Chili and Cheese Nachos!




I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just as snack by their selves, they bake and hold their shape better than most chips. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives. Anyone that uses small cans of Sliced Black Olives know what a pain they can be opening sometimes. Not these, they come in a can with a pull tab About time! For my other toppings I sliced up some Green Olives, Mezzetta Deli Sliced Jalapeno Peppers, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes (or more) of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella. Put all that together and it's nothing but good!




To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and sprayed a glass baking dish with Pam and layer everything in. I first opened up 2 cans of the Hormel Chili with Beans and heated them up in a sauce pan, as it was heating I added a about 6 shakes of Frank’s Hot Sauce to it and mixed. After the Chili was ready I added 4 tablespoons of Chili to the baking dish, then I added my Scoops (Chips). I then added the Sliced Black Olives and Sliced Green Olives, the remainder of the Chili, Sliced Jalapeno Peppers (Love These), and then top everything the Cheese. Then just pop it in the oven 10 minutes or so until the Cheese had started to melt and everything heated. Nothing better on a cold Winter’s Day than a big plate of Chili Cheese Nachos! Also had an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
