Add the oil once hot in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Add the hot dogs and get a light sear on them, stirring often.
15 ounces hot dogs
Stir in the tomato sauce, parmesan, oregano, basil, sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
28 ounces tomato sauce, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, make the noodles.
1 pound spaghetti noodles
Taste the sauce and add salt if needed.
Salt to taste
Serve immediately with the noodles and more parmesan cheese if desired.

Sear ‘Em Up – Get those hot dog bites golden in the olive oil—they’ll taste like little champs!
Simmer Slow – Cook the sauce on medium-low heat so it gets all friendly with the spices.
Al Dente Noodles – Boil your spaghetti noodles per package instructions until al dente—no mushy messes here!
Stir Gently – Use a wooden spoon so the hot dog pieces don’t turn into hot dog mush.
Taste Check – Sneak a spoonful of the sauce—add salt or garlic powder if it needs a boost!
Cheese Finish – Pile on extra parmesan cheese right before serving—it’s the best part of this kid’s meal!
