Chili Dog Casserole

Dinner Tonight:  Chili Dog Casserole w/ Refried Beans and Tossed Salad

Wow, what a long night! Had a bad bout with those Phantom Pains all last night and into the early afternoon today. It started last night around 7:00 and as the night wore on the pain kept getting worse. I ended with maybe and hours worth of sleep. So most of my afternoon was catching up on some much needed sleep. Sure wish they would come up with a cure to battle Phantom Pains, but no proven cures out there. We had another day in the 40's but it gradually got colder as the day went on. For dinner tonight I tried a new recipe,  Chili Dog Casserole.

I came across the recipe from a Kraft Foods Recipe Email, 4-Ingredient Chili Dog Casserole. To prep it I'll need just 4 Ingredients; 1 can  (15 oz. each) Hormel Turkey Chili with Beans, 3 Ball Park Smoked White Turkey Franks, 3 Flour Tortillas (6 inch), 1/4 cup Sargento Reduced Calorie Shredded Sharp Cheddar. To prepare it couldn't be much easier. Place 1 Turkey Frank on each Tortilla; roll up. Place, seam sides down, over chili. Sprinkle with cheese; cover. Baked for about 25 min., the Chili and Franks were are heated through and cheese melted. This makes one delicious Casserole dish! Just like having a Cincinnati Style 3 Way Coney, only with a Tortilla instead of a Bun. A Keeper Recipe! The original Kraft Recipe and web link is at the end of the post.For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.








4-Ingredient Chili Dog Casserole

what you need
2 cans  (15 oz. each) chili with beans
5  OSCAR MAYER Wieners
5  corn tortillas (6 inch)
1/2 cup  KRAFT Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese
make it
HEAT oven to 425ºF.

SPREAD chili onto bottom of 8-inch square baking dish.

PLACE 1 wiener on each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam sides down, over chili. Sprinkle with cheese; cover.

BAKE 25 min. or until wieners are heated through and cheese is melted.

Kraft kitchens tips

 SERVING SUGGESTION Don't let the fun stop at the entree! Round out the meal with a fun salad bar. Set out a large bowl of torn mixed salad greens and small bowls filled with chopped fresh vegetables. Then let everyone pick their favorite salad toppers and make their own fun salad.
MAKE AHEAD This is a perfect make-ahead recipe. Throw this four-ingredient family pleaser together the night before, then refrigerate until ready to bake as directed.
NO BEANS PLEASE Prepare using chili without beans.
