Prepare the chili

In a large saucepan, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add in chopped onions, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook until onions are soft and translucent. Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Let the mixture simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the hot dogs on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are nicely charred and heated through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Warm the buns

While the hot dogs are grilling, lightly butter the hot dog buns and place them on the grill for a minute or two, just until they are slightly toasted. Remove from the grill and set aside.
