- Place the cast-iron pan on a hot campfire grate. Add onions, peppers, oil and Italian seasoning. Toss the veggies to incorporate the seasoning.
- While the veggies cook, cook the hot dogs using one of the following methods.Option 1- Add the hot dogs to the pan. Cook until the veggies are softened and beginning to blacken, and until the hot dogs begin to char. Option 2- Add the hot dogs to roasting sticks, and cook over the fire until beginning to char. Continue cooking the veggies in the pan until softened and beginning to blacken.
- Toast hot dog buns on indirect heat on the campfire grate, or push the veggies and hot dogs to the edge of the pan and toast the buns in the pan.
