This recipe is quick, easy and versatile, not to mention VERY TASTY! If you're a fan of chili cheese dogs, like I am, you'll love these delicious appetizers. For a change, try adding hot dog relish or crumbled cooked bacon.

    Meanwhile, heat chili in a medium size microwave bowl, covered, on medium high heat, for 1 minute, stirring halfway thru. If not hot enough, heat on high, in 10 second increments, until heated through.

Press down lightly to "anchor" hot dogs into cheese layer. With a teaspoon, carefully spoon about 1 teaspoon of chili over each hot dog slice. Garncih with a dab of mustard and sprinkle with diced onion.
