Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Split open the hot dog buns, but do not separate them completely. Arrange the buns in the prepared baking dish.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup on one side of each bun and mustard on the other side.
Place a hot dog inside each bun.
Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish over each hot dog. If using onions, sprinkle a small amount of finely diced onions on top as well.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot dogs and buns, ensuring generous coverage.
Melt the butter and brush it over the exposed parts of the buns for a golden and crispy texture when baked.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from over-browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the buns are toasted to your preference.
Carefully remove the oven hot dogs from the baking dish using a spatula, serve warm, and enjoy!
