Sausage Chilli Dogs

This is an altered item off my menu.  I'd planned just to make Sausage Chilli and serve it over noodles or with cornbread - depending on my mood.  My mood switched things up again, as it so often does, and because it was nice enough to grill, I went with Sausage Chilli Dogs!

served w/ Little Steve's fav M&C and corn

You will need:

1 bag Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles
1 can (about 26 oz) Tomato Sauce
3 tbsp Chilli Powder
Dash of Garlic Powder and Basil
1 can Black Beans
1 pack Hot Dogs

How you grill your dogs is your business.  Here is how you do the chilli:

Add Turkey Sausage to a pan and heat through.  Then, add half of the Tomato Sauce and stir.  Add Chilli Powder, Garlic Powder, and Basil.  I say 'dash' of Garlic because I know everyone has different feelings about Garlic; personally, I LOVE it.  Add the rest of the Tomato Sauce and Black Beans.  Simmer for about 15-20 minutes.

TA-DA!

Easy Peasy BBQ Franks.

Sorry I missed the Thursday Push, but the good news is that we all made it to Friday!

I didn't take a picture last night because I am a nut, but I made the world's easiest spruced up hot dogs.

BBQ Franks

1 C Kethchup
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1/2 C Water
3 Tbsp A1 sauce or Worcester Sauce (I used Bold & Spicy A1)
1/2 Tsp Ground Mustard
1/2 Tsp BBQ Spice (any BBQ flavored spice will work!)
S&P to taste
1 package Hot Dogs

Simply combine all ingredients except the hot dogs and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add hot dogs and simmer for another 15-20 minutes.

Serve in hot dog buns or, if you're like me and realize at the last minute you don't have any hot dog buns, serve over toast, or eat it plain!  Pick some sides  - a starch and a veggie - and you're done!
