Chili cheese dogs in beach blankets/ muffin pizza's

I had the grandkids here for dinner and decided that was a good night for some quick meals.

Chili cheese dogs in beach blankets

• 1 tbs oil
• 1 pound of ground beef or turkey
• 1 tbs chili powder
• 1 tsp granulated garlic
• 2 tsp onion
• black pepper
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 1 ( 13.8) tube refrigerator pizza dough
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 hot dogs. * beef, turkey, tofu*

Preheat oven  to  400.
Heat oil in small pot over med-high heat. Add the meat to the pot and brown. Season the meat with the chili powder, onions, garlic and pepper. Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir it around for a minute, then add 1/4 cup water to help loosen the tomato paste and get it incorporated. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Roll out the pizza dough into a big rectangle. Cut the dough in half lengthwise with a small knife. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces across so that you end up with 8 small rectangular pieces of dough. Across the center of each place a couple spoonfuls of chili sauce and sprinkle a small handful of cheese on top. Set the dog on the dough and wrap and roll the pizza dough around the dog as you would for pigs in a blanket, sealing in the chili and cheese. The nubs of each end of the dog should be peeking out. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes or until golden!!
