Gourmet Chili Cheese Dog

Ingredients

• Italian sausage

  Pork, raw

  1 link, raw or 100g

• Hamburger or hotdog rolls

  Plain

  1 roll or 43g

• Chili with beans

  Canned

  ¼ cup or 64g

• Cheddar cheese

  ¼ cup, shredded or 28g

• Ketchup

  1 tsp or 5g

• Pepper or hot sauce

  Ready-to-serve

  1 tsp or 5g

Directions

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over and an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F, about 10–15 minutes.
2. Warm the chili in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
3. Split the roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through. If desired, warm or lightly toast the cut sides in the skillet for 30–60 seconds. Sprinkle half of the cheese along the bottom of the roll.
4. Place the hot sausage in the roll, spoon the hot chili over it, and top with the remaining cheese.
5. Drizzle with ketchup and hot sauce and serve immediately.
