Paleo Chili "Cheese" Dogs
A delicious game day meal that is spicy, dairy-free, and comforting
Ingredients
- 4 Spicy sausages I like Amylu
- 4 Sweet Potatoes
- 1 pound Ground turkey I like Greensbury Market
- 1 jar Core and Rind Bold and Spicy cheese sauce
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 1 cup Fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne optional
- ¼ White onion diced for garnish
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a pan to medium heat and begin to brown the ground turkey. Cook this until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- While the ground turkey is cooking, heat another pan to medium heat and brown the sausage and/or hot dogs. This cooking time will vary since some are pre-cooked and some aren't. The ones I use are pre-cooked and take about 8 minutes to heat up and get slightly charred.
- Wash and score the sweet potatoes. I microwave mine to cook quickly, but cook yours how you like best. To microwave, score them and wrap them in a moist paper towel. Cook on high for about 5 minutes then flip and add another 2 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
- When the turkey meat is browned, add tomato paste, fire roasted tomatoes and seasonings. Let this simmer for about five minutes or until the sauce has thickened. *NOTE: if you or your family doesn't like chunky chili, feel free to blitz the fire roasted tomatoes in the blender for a few seconds first.
- To serve, slice the potatoes in half, add the sausage, then pour chili on top. Top with cheese sauce, cilantro, and white onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can always serve this with a bun, but to keep it gluten-free it is delicious inside a sweet potato. Everything goes good with a sweet potato.
- I like using ground turkey, but you can use whatever ground meat you have on hand.
- Core and Rind is my favorite non-dairy cheese sauce, but pick your favorite! If dairy works for you feel free to use that, too. No judgement here.
