Get ready, get set ...


Holiday season is upon us. It's time to order the turkey. I always get a free-range bird because they are so tasty. I also like to keep some easy dinner ideas on hand for those days when between shopping, working, and decorating there is hardly room to breathe.
One treat my family loves that is easy to prepare is chili hot dogs. It's time to trot out as many of these time-savers as you can find because the clock's ticking.

Chili hotdogs

Xlint chili
all-beef hotdogs
buns
chopped onion
shredded cheese

Wrap the hotdogs loosely in plastic wrap. Place about a tablespoon of chili to each hotdog on a plate and microwave for 2 minutes. Microwave hotdogs one minute (you can put the hot dogs in the microwave with the chili after the chili has cooked for 1 minute). Place buns in the oven for about 15 seconds.
Place hotdogs in buns, spread chili on top, top with cheese and microwave for about 35 seconds or until cheese starts to melt. Top with chopped onions and serve.
