If you're a fan of Cincinnati Style Cheese Coneys like myself you're going to love this easy recipe, a Crescent-topped casserole ready in only 30 minutes. Got the idea from a Pillsbury food recipe site but it was over 500 calories so it sounded delicious but I had to lighten up so I did. It's an easy recipe to make with the original calling for Chili w/ Beans, Hot Dogs, Shredded American Cheese and Crescent Rolls. I lightened it up by using Hormel Turkey Chili w/ Beans, Ball Park Smoked White Turkey Franks, Kraft 2% Shredded American Cheese, and Pillsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls. Comparing those 4 items from the original recipe to the lightened up recipe there was a calorie savings of 245 calories and 2 carbs. That's the individual count among those ingredients. So this is just one recipe example of the calories and carbs you can cut by using healthier ingredients. I also added in a few dashes of Ground Cinnamon and frank's Hot Sauce. I always try to add Cinnamon, a great natural for controlling diabetes. My lighter recipe version for this follows.
Prep Time: 15 Min
Total Time: 30 Min

INGREDIENTS:
2 Cans (15 oz each) Hormel Turkey Chili With Beans
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, (Optional)
3 Dashes Frank's Hot Sauce, (Optional)

1 Can (8 oz) Pillsbury Refrigerated Reduced Fat Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seed
