Caramelized Onions:
- Peel and remove the core from your onion. Cut onion in half, then cut into 1/8 inch slices.
- Turn your pan on medium-low, then add onions.

- Toss every 5 minutes and (if they appear dry) add a drizzle of canola oil at the 15 minute mark.
- At the 20 minute mark, add a tablespoon of water to finish the cooking process.
Peppers:
- De-seed your peppers and slice them into a small dice.
- Preheat the pan for 1 minute on medium heat.
- Once preheated, drizzle enough canola oil to coat the pan.
- Add the sweet peppers to your pan, season with salt, black pepper and picked thyme.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes and turn off heat.
- Add a squeeze of half a lemon and chopped parsley.
Lightlife Smart Dog:
- Preheat your grill to medium. Once hot, brush the grill with oil.
- Add Smart Dogs to the grill and let them cook for 4 minutes as you rotate them every 2 minutes.
- At the 4 minute mark, break a slice of Field Roast Chao in half and add both halves (lengthwise) on top of the Smart Dog, covering the entire surface. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Toast buns on the grill until golden brown.
- Top your Smart Dog with the previously prepared peppers and onions.
