💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt adds creaminess with fewer calories.

jalapeños

🥗Healthier: banana peppers

Prepare a bowl of water to steam the hot dog buns in the microwave.

Place the hot dog buns on a plate and open them up.

Put the bowl of water in the microwave with the buns and steam for 30 seconds.

Spoon chili on top of each hot dog.

Wrap each chili dog in wax paper and set aside.

Let the wrapped chili dogs sit for a minute to soak up the juices before serving.
