Ingredients
Hot Dogs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 bell peppers, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Applegate Organics® Sunday Bacon® Brand
- 1 package Applegate Organics® The Great Organic Uncured Beef Hot Dog™ Brand
- 1 package hot dog buns, toasted

Salsa Verde
- 1 pound tomatillos
- ½ small white onion, chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 fresh jalapeño, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Hot Dogs
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown and softened, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Wrap 1 slice of bacon around each hot dog, using wooden picks to help it stick, if needed. Grill the bacon-wrapped hot dogs until the bacon is crisp.
- To serve, remove any wooden picks from the hot dogs and arrange the hot dogs in the toasted buns. Top hot dogs with the peppers and onions and a spoonful of salsa verde.
Salsa Verde
This fresh salsa is wonderful with tortilla chips, over tacos and on your morning eggs.
