Chili Dog Nachos

Submitted by Charmie777

"This recipe came from Rachael Ray. It's easy, and delicious. I made it with smoked bratwurst to make it more "adult-friendly" and it worked great! We enjoyed the Super Bowl while munching on these.(Note: I agree with not needing the oil as a reviewer suggested. I don't use it either.)"

these were WONDERFUL! I used a little bit of vegetable oil spray instead of the actual oil, and they came out great. the meat had such a great flavor to it and the mixture wasn't as liquidy as I was scared it might be. fantastic!! =) will be making again!

We did not care for this. I;m not sure if it's just because we prefer traditional nachos. If you do make these, I would suggest not using the vegetable oil - this made the mixture extremely greasy.

My family really likes this. It's a fun dish to have occasionally. I do a few things differently: I use ground turkey, then cook the onions and drain off any excess fat. (I always drain ground beef or turkey after cooking.) Next I add the hot dogs and let them brown, and continue with the seasonings. The chili powder that I use has cocoa in it and is fabulous. I also find that using store bought tortilla chips makes this too salty, so I bake my own in the oven, using corn tortillas. This chili mixture is also good over corn muffins instead of chips.

Super tasty. I used Hot sausage links in this and it was delicious. And rather quick to put together. Thanks for a great recipe.
