Kick Butt Good.. Chili Dog Chili!!! image

Our family loves chili dogs... and of course chili... being diabetic myself, I wanted to cut the carbs but still have the flavor of a chili dog... so my daughter Noel, her children and I came up with this recipe.... we have had it many times and we all enjoy it each and every time we have it! It is a healthier chili than most......

This chili dog chili was absolutely delicious! It had the perfect balance of spices and heat, and the texture was nice and thick. I served it over hot dogs, but it would also be great on nachos or fries.
