ginyer - i know what you mean about this recipe calling your name - it's soooo good. At first I made this recipe 3 times in one week - now I am down to once or twice a week. When I make mine - I use chili powder instead of seasoning because we always have that on hand. And I put lots of sour cream and chopped tomatoes on top. It tastes just like chili concarne. I suppose it wouldnt even need the hotdogs to be good - but my kids probably wouln't eat it if it didnt have hot dogs in it.
