2 lbs ground beef (we used 80/20)

1 1/2 cups chopped onion

3 cups Frank’s RedHot® Bloody Mary Mix

1-28 oz. can crushed tomatoes ( we like San Marzano)

1- 15 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1- 15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 chopped green or red pepper

1 jalapeño, seeded for less heat (optional)

1/2-1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp cumin

3 T chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Brown meat and onions over medium heat until meat is browned, drain. In a large pot or dutch oven, add remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to low and simmer 1 1/2 hours. ( Or cook in slow cooker for 8- 10 hours after browning meat!) Great with shredded cheese and tortilla chips!
