Mock Chili Cheese Fritos Dogs (From Sonic)
Hey guys!
Another Tuesday is here so you know what that means. More blog recipes and chit chat from your (hopefully) fave blog mistress. This week's recipe would make you think that it's my pick since...well it's a mock version of my fave meal from Sonic. It's ma's pick though, weird I know. So you read right I have a fave meal at Sonic. Who doesn't? Sonic is amazing. Their drinks alone are what make them epic. It doesn't hurt that the food is extremely yum. For a while here in MI we'd see commericals for Sonic but none would be around for our enjoyment. Weird but yet mean in some aspects? Indeed. Finally after years of teasing they finally built some Sonic's here. Which is how I made my "signature" meal.
So what's my signature meal? Follow me:
Mock Chili Cheese Fritos Dogs (From Sonic)
Makes: 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
2 hot dog buns, split
2 hot dogs
1/2 cup chili (from above recipe)
1/4-1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 handfuls of Chili Cheese Frito chips, crushed
1. Grill hot dogs. Lightly toast buns.
2. Place dogs in buns. Top with chili, cheese, and crumbled Fritos. Enjoy!
WW Points: *14 per dog
Pair these dogs with your fave tater tots to give it that real Sonic meal feel!
To complete this meal my "signature" drink is Sprite with Watermelon flavoring. YUM!
Tid Bits:
*Feel free to play around with this recipe. Try out fat-free chili, or original frito chips.
*Not into hot dogs? Try soy dogs, turkey dogs, or chicken dogs.
Ma's Spot: I'm one that doesn't like a lot of toppings on their hot dog. If I want a hot dog then I want an actual hot dog. I do have to say though that I did like it. Of course yours truly didn't have any of the cheese on my dog (I loathe cheese). I did crush the Frito's for the top of my dog. I found it easier to eat the dog that way rather than leaving them whole. Have a hot dog night, spread out the toppings, and enjoy!
*SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which are not. Let's get to this week's pick:
WW Points: *3 Points per bar
Dinah: So on tonight's menu we bring you the latest from the graham cracker family. Honey Maid Grahamfuls in banana Vanilla flavor. Sure these sound good in theory and who doesn't love graham crackers? After all these are the foundation to the delight known as smore's. Ugh, this is why I hate to report that these aren't as good as they appear to the eye. I thought they graham part was too dry and literally tasteless. The creme part wasn't as flavorful either. Yeah, I'm bummed too. Also 3 points for these? That seems outrageous knowing how gross they taste. I'm skipping these next grocery trip and only sticking to the original graham cracker. Smore's anyone?
Ma: I love tonight's snack. It reminds me of the banana flip cake that you can pick up by the bakery items in the store. Come on show of hands. Who doesn't love that banana flip cake? This is what this reminds me of, I wanted to try the peanut butter or peanut butter chocolate but couldn't par take because of Dinah's allergies. Which is okay because I love the banana vanilla creme. So if I was you I would definitely try this one out. Don't listen to my daughter.
That's all folks! We'll see you back here in 7 days for another recipe. Have a great week guys!
