Chili Dogs and the Saga of Cheese Whiz or Not
Who doesn't like Chili Dogs?
Well, Tim told me they are always better when they are Chili Cheese Dogs so when I was going to make them a few years ago, I was thinking some nicely grated sharp aged Cheddar.
So, I got all of the ingredients together. An awesome batch of chili (recipe to follow some day), chopped onions, Ambassador Wieners, sour cream and fresh wheat bakery buns.
However, to my dismay, Tim came home with a jar of Cheez Whiz. Really? Cheez Whiz? Is that even a food?
Well, he told me to trust him. We grilled the dogs, heated the chili and slathered the Cheez Whiz on the bun before assembling. The heat from the dogs and chili melted the Cheez Whiz and I was sold. I really hate to admit it, and we don't often buy processed anything but this is quite good. O.k., an old dog can be trained with old tricks! I am however, not convinced this is a true food but it works.
Adding a test comment.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Here is my real comment! These sound good, but I couldn't do the Cheese Whiz cuz of what is in it. And, I don't like Cheddar cheese when it melts (yup, I know it's weird), so I think I'd just go for the Chili dog straight up! Also, have you tried the buns from the Farm Island store? They are darn good too!
ReplyDeleteValerie, I am with you on the cheez whiz. I tried it, it was good but I have a problem with a dairy product with a shelf life and what they need to do to make it that way.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bakery goods at the FI Store are usually very good!
