Smoked Green Chile Chili

I had grass-fed hot dogs on hand and wanted a quick side dish to make dinner into a hearty meal, so I threw together a pot of "Smoked Green Chile Chili" ... no recipe, no grocery shopping, just went with what I had on hand and it was yummy. The spice level is very low so my kiddos would enjoy it, but you can add some hot sauce for a nice kick.
