Sizzling Sausage, Bacon and Avocado Sandwich Ingredients 4 (5-oz.) raw Chicken Italian Sausages 4 slices bacon 8 toothpicks soaked in water Spicy BBQ sauce (see recipe below) 1 1/4 cups sweet white onion, thin julienne cut 2 Fresno chiles, seeded, thin julienne cut 1 tsp. vegetable oil 4 whole wheat hot dog buns 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, cut into 12 slices Spicy BBQ Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup BBQ sauce 1/8 cup orange juice concentrate 3/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
  1. Wrap each sausage with a slice of bacon and secure each end with a water-soaked toothpick. Grill over medium heat away from direct flame for 30 to 40 minutes, until done, turning several times to ensure even browning of the bacon.
  2. Mix together the BBQ sauce, orange juice concentrate and cayenne pepper, set aside.
  3. Just before the sausage is done sauté the Fresno chiles and onions in vegetable oil until slightly limp.
  4. Toast the whole wheat buns and spread 2 Tbsp. of BBQ sauce on each one.
  5. Top each bun with a roasted bacon wrapped sausage (toothpicks removed), grilled chiles and onions then three slices of Fresh California Avocado.

Oven Preparation: The sausages also may be roasted at 400 degrees F for 30 – 40 minutes, until done, turning two times to assure even browning of the bacon.

Serving suggestion: Like it even hotter? Add whole Fresno chiles to the roasting pan during the last half of the cooking and enjoy them whole, with or without seeds. Serve with whole wheat honey pretzels and prepare extra spicy BBQ sauce for dipping.

Beverage Pairings: Cool the heat with orange juice mixed with sparkling water or an icy cold beer.

It’s a good idea to brush a little oil on the cut side of a California Avocado before grilling. They are also delicious in a host of other entrée recipes, from stove top to oven-baked to multi-cooker preparation.
