Bacon-wrapped Hot Dogs

Not Quite Epic Meal Time
After finally making it out to the store for some grocery shopping over the weekend and making a call to the management to get a tank of gas, it was finally time to do some cooking. While we were at the store doing the shopping it became clear how hard it is to start a kitchen from scratch. I mean we had nothing, no salt, no oil, no knives, no cutting board, nothing.

So after we bough a lot of cooking basics, plus some other flat basics: toilet brush, broom, surface cleaner, etc. We had run up a big bill and still didn't have enough ingredients to make an actual meal, so while we were waiting at the checkout I decided to make a run and grab enough things to make some hot dogs, bacon-wrapped hot dogs. They're simple to make but hardy enough to fill you up, so I decided it would be a good first meal to make.

    Ingredients
  • Beef franks
  • Hot dog buns
  • Bell pepper
  • Onion
  • Avocado
The first step is to wrap the hot dogs in the bacon. There isn't really a technique or style just try to cover as much of the hot dog with the bacon as you can. Once the hot dogs are wrapped up, place them on a skillet and cook them until the bacon and the hot dogs are cooked.
The Veggies Make it Healthy
After that's done slice the bell pepper and onions into strips. Cook the bell peppers first and once they start losing their firmness add the onions. Season the veggies with salt and peper and remove from the pan once the onions get a bit caramelized.

Once the veggies are done assemble it all together and add the fresh avocado on top.
