1 pound lean ground beef
1 (15 oz) can beans drained and rinsed - I actually used romano beans but you could also use kidney beans or pinto beans
1 (10 oz) can condensed tomato soup + 1 can worth of water
1/4 cup brown sugar packed (more to less to taste)
1 teaspoon chili powder more to taste
1 teaspoon salt more or less, to taste

Cook beef, breaking it up as you go, over medium heat in a large stockpot, then drain the grease.
To the drained beef, add in beans, condensed soup, 1 soup can's worth of water, brown sugar, chili powder, and salt.
Stir to combine, bring to a simmer, then simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until hot and slightly thickened.
Taste and re-season, then serve with toppings and sides of choice!
