1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans or pinto beans, drained
1/2 med. green pepper, chopped
1 med. onion, chopped
1/4 c. catsup
1-1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
6-8 hot dogs
6-8 hot dog buns
3/4 c. grated Cheddar cheese

In medium saucepan, combine beans, green pepper, onion, catsup, chili powder, oregano and garlic salt. Simmer over low heat 15-20 minutes, until thickened, adding a little water if necessary. Cut hot dogs into spirals or "s" shapes; make 5 cuts on half of 1 side, repeat on other half of the opposite side.

Place hot dogs in 1/2 inch of water in large skillet. Cover and simmer over medium heat 5 minutes, until thoroughly heated. Slit buns, but do not cut through. Place franks in buns and top with a generous portion of bean sauce. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Serves 6-8.
