Chili Topping for Hamburgers and Hot Dogs

I did a bit of cleaning out of leftovers from the fridge and freezer. We had leftover Larry Burgers from Saturday. For a nice change, I made a little chili to top these. Larry loves chili cheese burgers! We sprinkled ours with a bit of 2% low fat cheese. Chopped green or red onions are also a tasty topping for this chili, which has a tiny sweetness to it. If you prefer your chili tangier, just omit the sugar and ketchup. In the freezer, we had a bag with a dab of fries and a bag with a handful of mozzarella sticks. I threw all these in the oven to have as sides. I also found a small stack of graham crackers, a part of a bag of mini marshmallows and a few milk chocolate chips in the pantry. I used all these ingredients to make Easiest Indoor S'mores .

Easiest Indoor S'mores

Using ingredients I found in the pantry I put together these quick and easy little desserts. They are fairly low-fat - for dessert. Probably about 3 grams each.

Place under broiler until chips are soft. Remove from oven. Place one large or several mini marshmallows on top of chocolate chips. Return to oven until marshmallows begin to puff. Watch carefully. Remove from oven and top with another graham cracker square. Return to oven for a moment to heat top cracker.
