I sure wish food industry would start producing single serving amounts of various packaged and canned foods! I always try to save what I don't use, either for leftovers or storing to use later, but you can only save so much before it starts piling up. I've emailed several manufactures like Del Monte and Dole for example but never a reply. Like everything else it's all about the money and food like everything else is a business. Enough complaining, another nice day but its a little warmer and a little humid but it is August. I hear next week we'll have the August days we dread, hot and humid! For dinner I went with something light and easy to prepare, Chili and Cheese Nachos.
I used Tostitos Multi Grain Scoops for my Chips. I love these with Salsa or just by their selves, and they bake and hold their shape real good. For my toppings I used 1 can of Mario Sliced Black Olives. Before I go any further a bit about these 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 used Mezzetta Deli Sliced Tamed Jalapeno Peppers, Campbell's Firehouse Chili with Beans, and a blend of Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella. I like using the Campbells Firehouse Chili with Beans for Nachos. It's Meaty, the Beans, and has some good Spice with it and a little Heat.
To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and spray a glass baking dish with Pam and layer everything in. I start with a couple of tablespoons of Chili then I add my Scoops (Chips). I then add the Sliced Black Olives, Sliced Jalapeno Peppers (Love These), and then top everything the Cheese Blend. Then just pop it in the oven 10 minutes or so until the Cheese had started to melt and everything heated. Something I forgot to mention is I also heat my Chili up on low for about 20 minutes before I top my Chips with it. Serve it while it's hot, it's not bad cooled down either. Had an Ice Cold Diet Dr. Pepper also. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
