Chili Spaghetti with Hot Dogs

I'm sure having a lot of kid foods this week! If you're looking for a gourmet meal, this isn't the place for you... but sometimes a good old hot dog just tastes good. I usually go months without cooking hot dogs, but this week I have used them twice. That's mainly because I got the good light hot dogs for $1.50! Brad doesn't even realize I'm feeding him a lighter version of the hot dogs because they taste just the same as the regular ones. I feel much better about eating them too! My kids love spaghetti so this recipe was a nice change from the regular spaghetti with red sauce. This meal's also very affordable coming in at only $3.26 for the entire dish! That's the price without the cup of cheese... it seems I totally forgot the cheese and just realized I forgot it while typing the recipe! Even with the cheese the dish comes in at only about $1.00 higher. We all really enjoyed this frugal dish. It was a nice change.

Is anyone else having trouble looking at the blogspot pages? Every site I click on it tells me operation aborted and I have to close it out. If you notice I haven't commented on your posts, that is the reason :(
