• Salt
• 1 tsp cane sugar
• Hotdog buns
• Field Roast Chao Slices

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.
• Season with salt and cane sugar, and let onions slowly cook for approximately 30 minutes or until caramelized.
• 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.
