Vegan Smart Dogs & Peppers Recipe

- Olive Oil or Cooking Oil
- 4 Lightlife Smart Dogs, cut in half & sliced down the middle to make them thinner
- 3 Cloves of Garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 Medium Onion, sliced
- 1/2 Green Bell Pepper, sliced
- 1/2 Red Pepper, sliced
- 1/4 Chopped Tomatoes
- Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
- 6 Hot Dog Buns (I didn't have any so I used sandwich bread)

1. On a nonstick skillet, cook smart dogs as directed on the package and set aside.

2. Add more oil if needed and adjust stove to medium heat. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute, just until it starts to brown. Then, add the peppers and cook about 8 minutes, until they soften.

3. Add tomatoes and mix well until everything looks well combined. 

4. Return smart dogs to the pan, cook about 5 more minutes or until tomatoes soften and everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper, mix. Then, turn of the heat.
 (Tip: When I added the smart dogs, I also added a little bit of spinach. The more veggies, the better!)

5. Serve them in toasted or non toasted hot dog buns by placing some of the mixture in the buns.

I only had sandwich bread so I used a big cookie cutter to cut out a circle in the center of a toasted bread. Then, added a little mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup and topped it with the mixture.
