1/2 cup chopped onion

4 cups canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder or to taste
Water, as desired

Jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, as desired
In a soup pot, add the ground beef and onion. Over medium heat saute

Add the tomatoes, kidney beans, celery, sugar and chili powder to
the ground beef mixture. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring
