Ingredients
- 4 hot dogs with about 40 calories and 1g fat or less each
- 4 slices turkey bacon or center-cut bacon
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced into strips (not rings)
- 2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise
- 4 light hot dog buns
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard
Instructions
- Carefully break 4 toothpicks in half. Wrap each hot dog in a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick half at each end. Set aside.
- Bring a large skillet or grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove.
- Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the skillet/pan and set aside.
- Remove the skillet/pan from heat, re-spray, and bring to medium heat. Add bacon-wrapped hot dogs and cook until bacon is crisp and fully cooked and hot dogs are heated through, about 6 minutes, rotating the hot dogs several times to evenly cook the bacon. Set aside.
- Evenly spread mayo inside the buns. Remove toothpicks from the hot dogs and place a bacon-wrapped dog in each bun. Top each dog with a teaspoon of mustard.
- Evenly distribute veggie mixture among the dogs. Eat up!

Reviews
40 Calorie hotdogs? What a find. This recipe gets five stars simply for pointing that out. I went out and got the hot dogs and turkey bacon, which I was shocked to find was only 35 calories a piece.
By the way, I have made the Ring A Bella Portabella sandwich maybe 10 times now! That is tasty, fewer calories and more filling than any Lean Cuisine or diet frozen meal.
Thanks Lisa. I love making your meals because I enjoy cooking, and I feel so good after I’ve eaten your meals because I know have not overdone it with the fat and calories.
I also love how you prepare them in ways I can count them as one serving of protein and one serving of carbohydrate or one fat serving, one dairy serving, one veggie serving etc etc.
Please keep up the good work!
