  3. Meanwhile, cook hot dogs according to package instructions or grill until charred.
  4. Warm buns in a toaster or oven.
  5. Assemble each hot dog with a cooked hot dog, a generous amount of caramelized onions, and a drizzle of ketchup and mustard.
  6. For whole cuts, check a minimum internal temperature of 63°C (145°F), then rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
