No Nitrate Hot Dogs that Actually Taste Good!
I am so excited! I have FINALLY found a hot dog that seems to be as healthy as possible AND it actually tastes good! and the kids like it too! I have fed it to four kids, ages 5, 6, 7, and 8, all of whom are totally familiar with regular hot dogs. They all ate it the whole hot dog, and none of them even said anything. They just thought they were regular hot dogs.
The hot dog is Applegate Farms The Great Organic Uncured Hot Dog. The ingredients on the package are organic grass-fed beef, water, sea salt, spices, garlic powder, paprica, celery powder, onion, lactic acid starter culture (not from milk).
No nitrates, no preservatives, no gluten, and no FILLERS.
To me, they taste just like hot dogs except they aren’t as soft as regular hot dogs – I think regular hot dogs must achieve that softness with some sort of fillers or major processing. These hot dogs obviously strive to be as healthy as possible so they forgo a bit of softness for that healthiness. I say YES, and good for them.
I found them in a regular grocery store.
Quick and Easy Chili
I love this recipe and the best part is from start to finish it takes about 30 minutes!
- 2 pounds ground beef*
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cans beans, undrained (16 oz. ea.)*
- 2 cans condensed tomato soup, undiluted (10-3/4 oz ea.) **
- 4 tsp. chili powder
- 2 tsp. cumin
- 2 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
*Try using 1 pound pork sausage and 1 pound ground beef
** Mix a can of kidney beans with a can of zesty pinto beans.
*** If you don’t have condensed tomato soup, you can use tomato juice. Poor your juiced tomatoes into a saucepan and add a tsp flour per cup of juice . Bring to a boil and simmer until thickened. I’ve done this with our cherry tomatoes from our garden in a pinch and the chili came out great!
In a large saucepan, brown beef, garlic and onion, drain.
Add everything else and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes or until thick and bubbly.
Garnish with peppers and cheese.
