Made this tonight. It was interesting! I had to hold back on the mustard as dh isn't a big fan. I don't think I've had a chili dog since I was a kid.

A few time saving tips if I may....I buy large quantities of hamburger and put them in the crockpot to cook all day (along with seasonings, onions, a little green pepper). I freeze this and when I need ground beef for a recipe - viola! I've also begun making my own tomato sauce. I saute some onions and peppers in oil then add a couple cans of stewed tomatoes I've purreed in the blender. Season to taste. Unbelievably tasty and easy. Not sure of the carb count but with no added sugars I'm thinking it is pretty decent as tomato sauce goes.

Btw, this is definately an economical dish.
