• Brush the kebabs liberally with sauce.
• Cook on outdoor grill, indoor grill, or broil, about 20 minutes, basting frequently. Remove and baste again with sauce so that they are gooey!

CHEESE-STUFFED HOT DOGS WITH SPICY ONIONS - RACHAEL RAY

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Make a slit lengthwise down each frank, being careful not to cut all the way through.
• Place the grill seasoning and franks in a plastic bag; shake to coat.
• Place the franks on a baking sheet and stuff each with 2 or 3 strips of cheese.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the brown sugar, chipotle, adobo sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
• Butter the insides of the buns and place up on the baking sheet with the franks. Broil until the cheese melts and the buns are toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Assemble the hot dogs and top with the caramelized onions.
