Cheese-Stuffed Hot Dogs with Spicy Onions

Hot dogs...the choice is yours
2 tablespoons McCormick Grill Mates Grill Seasoning, any flavor
2 slices thick-sliced sharp cheddar cheese cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small yellow onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo sauce, finely chopped plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Hot dog rolls
Salt

Preheat grill to medium heat. Make a slit in each hot dog lengthwise down. Place hot dogs in a zip top bag with the grill seasonings and shake to coat. Place 2 to 3 strips of cheese in each hot dog.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Add the brown sugar, chipotle, adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Place the hot dog on the grill, face-up, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Butter the inside of the hot dog rolls and place them face down on the grill. Toast for about 2 to 3 minutes. Place the hot dogs on the buns and top them with the onion mixture.
