Chili Dogs

I was so hungry, I couldn't even wait to take a bite.  Yum!

For these dogs, I used:
1 Arnold Select Wheat Hot Dog Bun
1 Lightlife Smart Dogs
Galaxy Nutritional Foods Vegan Cheddar Soy Cheese, shredded
Chili


You can use any chili recipe you like, but I chose to veganize my mother-in-law's recipe for my husband.  Hopefully she doesn't mind me sharing her recipe with the world! 

Chili
2 cans light red kidney beans
2 cans dark red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 package Boca Crumbles
Dark chili powder, hot pepper seeds, and sugar to taste.

Cook the Boca Crumbles in a frying pan on the stove until "browned" or cooked to taste.  Usually I cook the chili on the stove, but today I decided to use give the crock pot a try.  Dump all of the cans with juices into the crock pot with the Boca Crumbles.  Cook for 3 hours on low.  Add chili powder, hot pepper seeds, and sugar and stir. 


For the chilli dogs simply cook the vegan hot dog of your choice by it's directions, put in a bun, add a few heapings of chili, and shred the cheddar over the dogs and voila - vegan chili dogs!
