Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook while breaking up the meat for 5 minutes until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Stir in the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, tomato sauce, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce is thick. Done when opaque and browned, 160°F.
While the chili simmers, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the turkey hot dog and simmer for 5 minutes until heated through. Done when heated through, 165°F.
Open the hot dog bun and toast it in the dry skillet used for the chili after moving the chili to the side, or in a toaster for 1 minute until golden. Place the hot dog in the bun. Top with the warm beef chili and the shredded cheddar. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt. Done when cheese is melted.
