Brrrrrrrr! It didn't get out of the 30's today and perhaps even colder with the wind chill. Wind Chill, isn't it a bit early to be talking Wind Chill! But then again we saw our first Snow Flurries, and it is way too early for that! For dinner tonight I wasn't all that hungry and my parents weren't either. So my Mom suggested some Chili and Cheese Nachos, excellent idea! So as always what Mom wants Mom gets, I prepared 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, 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, Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, a few shakes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and a blend of Sargento Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Italian Shredded Cheese and Sargento Reduced Fat Mozzarella. I hadn't used the Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans in a while I had been using Campbell's Firehouse Chili with Beans but I just wanted to switch it up.

| Ready for the Cheese and the oven |
To prepare I preheat the oven at 400 degrees and sprayed 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, the Chili, 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. For the Chili I warm it up in a sauce pan, adding a few shakes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, before I top the Scoops with it. Nothing better than a big plate of Chili Cheese Nachos on a very cold day! Had an ice cold Diet Dr. Pepper to drink also. For dessert later a Del Monte No Sugar Added Mango Chunk Cup.
