EDITED: We make ours lower carb now by eliminating the tomato paste and adding only two cans of crushed tomatoes.
2 pounds ground beef, browned not drained tho
1 whole diced yellow onion, cook till tender with the beef
Optional: one diced green bell pepper
2 (15 oz) cans black soy beans
2 (15 oz) cans crushed or diced tomatoes with their juice(try fire roasted!)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chili powder (the chili only kind, no salt added)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
Add salt to taste.
Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup water if needed to thin.
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese!
