I was looking for something quick and easy to make for dinner when I found this recipe. Hot dog stir-fry? It sounded weird enough to be good, so I decided to give it a try. All this recipe consists of is hot dogs, onion and mushrooms stir-fried together. I used Ball Park fat-free turkey franks to make this, which I had never tried before. I usually get the Hebrew National 97% fat free beef hot dogs, but the Ball Park ones are cheaper and you get two more hot dogs in the package. They were actually really good!
I took Hungry Girl's advice in the cookbook to eat this on top of a salad. I had a huge salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, along with the entire recipe of the hot dog stir-fry. I figured at 3 Points+ per serving, I could afford two servings (actually, if you double all of the nutritional info and calculate the Points+ value, it is 5 Points+ for two servings). I was stuffed after eating my enormous salad! And it was really yummy with some low-fat ranch dressing. It was nice to have the contrast between the cold salad with the hot stir-fry on top. Next time I am looking for a quick and easy low-point meal, I might turn to this one.
This recipe is very perfect to me because I don't have enough budget to afford meat. I will make this budget recipe for my kids so that they can eat a lot. Thanks for sharing your idea!
