• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 onions, chopped
• 1/4 tsp medium curry powder
• 1/8 tsp cayenne powder
• Red pepper flakes to taste
• Grated cheddar cheese

In a large dutch oven or heavy pot, brown the meat with the onions and garlic. Add the chopped tomatoes and the kidney beans. Mix in the seasonings. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Serve with grated cheddar if desired and crusty buns. A cold beer wouldn't hurt either!
