Chili Peppers the locarb way...

So....a recent favorite around here for "go to" fast food type satisfaction is chili cheese dogs. What you say?!? How can that be? Well, I've tweaked a simple old family recipe for chili beans (sans beans) and come up with a winner. No bun, of course, but just top a beef frankfurter with a serving of this chili, top it with a bit of shredded cheese and a sprinkle of chopped onion (unless you are @lliphx who has a strange aversion to same) and you can have a Chili Cheese Dog or just a simple bowl of chili! Here's the recipe.

Easy peasy!

Curry Chicken Casserole

**The original recipe used Cambell's soups which become substituted with mayo, cream cheese & spice for flavor and cauliflower rice for density. This is what I consider straight up "comfort food." Just remember to take it easy on the cheese; a common staller. **

Slowly cook chicken cubes in the butter on low till just white, but slightly underdone.

While cooking sprinkle a pinch of curry, salt & pepper. While cooking the chicken, also cook the broccoli. Drain both and set aside.

In a small bowl hand mix the mayo, cream cheese, 2 tsp. of curry, lemon juice, dash of salt and garlic salt.

In a separate (larger) bowl, hand mix the cooked cauliflower rice* with 2 tsp. curry and the lemon juice and a dash of salt.

In a BIG bowl (I'm talkin' punch bowl sized) mix the curry cauliflower rice, chicken and broccoli and stir till well blended. Add the mayo/cream cheese sauce and fold in until everything is coated well.

Spoon mixture into a 5 qt. glass pan (no need to butter or spray) and top with the Xtra Sharp Cheddar.

Cook uncovered for apx. 45 minutes at 350 - Makes: 6 servings
