In a large skillet, heat Olive Oil over medium heat.
Add Ground Beef and Onion to the skillet and cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in Tomato Paste, Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Salt, and Black Pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in Water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
While the sauce simmers, steam the Hot Dog Buns.
