Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.
Slice the hot dogs into thin rounds and stir them into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the hot dog slices are lightly browned.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and flavors meld together.
Toast the hot dog buns lightly, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
Spoon the sloppy joe and hot dog mixture generously onto each bun. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, if using, and serve immediately.
