Chili Cheese Dogs In Beach Blankets - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 lb ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
14 ounces pizza dough (refrigerated)
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
8 hot dogs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the ground turkey in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat.
Add the chili, onion and garlic powders and cook stirring frequently (breaking up into small bits) until browned, 6 to 7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste, then add 1/4 cup water to help loosen it up.
Lower the heat and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat.
On a work surface, roll out the pizza dough and stretch into a big rectangle.
Cut the dough lengthwise and then cut each half crosswise into 4 equal pieces (you should have 8 pieces in all).
In the center of each rectangle, drop some chili and sprinkle with cheese.
Set a hot dog on top and wrap the dough around it, sealing in the chili and cheese (the ends of each hot dog should peek out).
Bake until golden, about 18 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving.
