Grilled Cheesy Hot Dogs with Spicy Onions

Well, you know I like a little heat with everything. It doesn’t have to be overpowering, just some heat. A little spiciness. I don’t do bland. These grilled cheesy hot dogs with spicy onions take no time at all and have just a little kick from the onions. Kick in onions? Well, they got some help from some smoky chipotles with a little of the kicked-up adobo sauce they come in. Chipotles are a great way to add heat to any dish without going too far with it.

Grilled Cheesy Hot Dogs with Spicy Onions

Go Big Or.. Well, Don’t.

On occasion, our local grocery store has foot long hot dogs and buns. For some reason, I really love foot long dogs. There’s just something more fun about eating them (with the added bonus of being messy). It reminds me of when I was a kid, the food stand at the local baseball park served foot long chili dogs. The best thing ever on a hot summer day was a big ole dog and an ice cold Coke. These grilled cheesy hot dogs with spicy onions are perfect for those same hot summer days.
