Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 lbs cooked lean ground beef
2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans (do not drain)
2 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 quart canned tomato (I use home canned but purchased would be okay)
2 1/2 tablespoons instant minced onion (or fresh equivalent)
1 tablespoon instant minced garlic (or fresh equivalent)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teapoon black pepper

Preparation

Crush the tomatoes so there are not any large chunks.
Put all the ingredients into the pot and cook over medium heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
