Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 hot dogs
- 3 bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Thinly slice the bell peppers into strips and the onion into half-moons. Mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to caramelize.
Stir in the sliced hot dogs and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the hot dogs to brown slightly and heat through.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Stir well to combine.
