1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chili seasoning, or to taste
1 can (16 ounce size) tomatoes, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
8 frankfurters
8 frankfurter rolls
1/2 cup extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

directions

In large skillet, over medium-high heat, saute beef 3 minutes, or until browned. Add onion, green pepper, garlic and chili seasoning; cook, stirring, 3 minutes longer.

Stir in tomatoes and their juice, tomato paste, ground red pepper and salt; bring to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.

Prepare barbecue grill. With knife, score frankfurter crosswise about one third through. Grill 6 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes.

Place rolls on grill to toast lightly.

Place frankfurters in rolls. Spoon some chili onto each frankfurter; sprinkle each with cheese. If desired, serve with potato chips.
