1

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.

2

Grill the hot dogs

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.

3

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.

4

Assemble the masterpiece

Place a grilled hot dog in each toasted bun. Spoon a generous amount of your flavorful chili over the hot dogs. Top with shredded cheddar cheese for that melty goodness. Feel free to sprinkle some diced onions, sliced jalapenos, or any other desired toppings.
