Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog and Cheesy Chips

In the meantime, wrap two rashers of bacon around each sausage. Starting at the top, spiral the bacon down the sausage so that it covers the whole thing. 

Pop the sausages onto a medium baking tray and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 mins. IIMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat. The sausages are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.

While everything cooks, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 10-12 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, trim the baby gem, quarter, then separate the leaves.

Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

In a medium bowl, mix together the blue cheese, ranch dressing and chives. Season with salt and pepper.

When 10 mins of chip cooking time remain, sprinkle the hard Italian style cheese over the chips and return to the oven for the remaining time.

Once the onions are golden and caramelised, mix in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted. Set the pan aside.

When 5 mins of cooking time remain, slice the buns top down through the middle (but not all the way through).

Pop the buns into the oven (straight on the oven shelf) to warm through, 2-3 mins.
