1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

In the meantime, in another skillet or grill pan over medium heat, cook the hot dogs for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until heated and slightly browned.
